Terry O’Quinn on the end of LOST:
“I mean, I’ve had people approach me about [the ending]. The funny thing was my reaction to the ending and the experience of shooting the ending was strangely unemotional. Because we were shooting the last month and I think we were all preparing for this experience to end and it was a big, pretty intense experience. And I think we sort of had — or at least I did, only speaking for myself — one foot out the door. At least emotionally. When people say, ‘What do you think?’ — and I do get asked that a lot, by the way: ‘What did you think of the ending?’ — I say, ‘I guess we all went to heaven.’ I don’t know. [Laughs.] I didn’t ask the writers to give me the clear answer of what every single thing meant. And I tell people it was clearly about a journey. I was aware in around season four that they had so many balls in the air that they were going to let a few drop. [Laughs.] So I was okay with that.”
TOQ on Odd Jobs, the show he and Michael Emerson almost did together:
“Well, it went a long way; I was really excited. Warner Bros. bought it and then NBC bought it, and then a script was produced. But nobody was happy with the script and it kind of got shelved. I mean, I wasn’t happy with it, Michael wasn’t, and I think the network wasn’t too; it kind of got shelved and we were waiting for something to happen with it and Michael’s Person of Interest came along and he called me and … we’re working on other things but we told each other, ‘If we’re still alive when we stop doing this, we’ll do something like that.’”
