THR: Do you feel any pressure to direct movies more often?
Abrams: There are so many things that I should not be directing. A lot of times I look at something and I think, “Oh my God, that would be amazing. I would completely f*** that up.” I just know that there are things I probably am not capable of, and then there are other things that I’m not sure if I am, and those are the things that excite me the most. The things that I know I could do are the things that I would probably screw up just as much. When you’re too in your comfort zone, it’s not necessarily the most creative thing. But I hope to direct a movie next year.
