JJ Abrams in a nutshell

JJ Abrams, from his TED talk today:
[Abrams] also showed us a box from Lou Tannen's Magic Store in New York that he bought many years ago. It has a big question mark printed on it. It's a mystery box that contains "$50 worth of magic for $15." He has never opened the box and he says he never will. "What I love this box is that I find myself drawn to infinite possibility -- mystery is the catalyst for imagination. In my work, mystery boxes are everywhere."
Fantastic quote -- though it doesn't bode well for the hordes of us who hope the mysteries surrounding the Dharma Initiative will one day be resolved... (via BoingBoing)
