More quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I've always paid a lot of attention to the way that different kinds of media affect how we see the world, probably because I've been an actor since I was a little kid.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Even today, in our progressive times, in most movies that come out, the men have to have biceps and the women have to be thin or something.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Most scripts are bad. I read a lot of them.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I'd been an actor my whole life, since I was a kid. And then, I quit for awhile and went to university. When I wanted to start acting again, I couldn't get a job, and that was really depressing. So, I realized, at that time, that I have to take responsibility for my own creativity.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
There seems to be a notion in Hollywood that if you want to make money, you have to sacrifice doing good work with integrity. And I think that's bullshit. I think that's an excuse, and it's what people say who are scared that they can't do good work.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I'm the last person to tell my friends to go see something I'm in. I could care less if friends of mine never saw anything I'm in.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
You usually get one or the other, you get someone who knows how to tell a story but they don't necessarily know about light and camera and rhythm, or you get someone who can make beautiful images but they can't necessarily tell a great story. He does both and I think he's going to be one of the film-makers that our time is remembered for.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I'm definitely not a science nerd, I'll say that. That was not my forte at school.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
The most valiant thing you can do as an artist is inspire someone else to be creative.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
The director is the most important because, ultimately, as an actor, when you watch a movie, it looks like an actor is giving a performance, and they kind of are. But, what's actually happening is that an actor has given a bunch of ingredients over to a director, who then constructs a performance. That's movie-making.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I collect flickering stars in old pickling jars, poking holes in the lids so they can breathe.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Hollywood can be an exclusive place. Who gets to be on TV, or who gets to make TV can be a small clique of an industry. There's so many talented, skilled people, all over the world, that might not have the connections or the opportunities to work in TV.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I have a lot of trouble getting turned on by girls who are turned on by celebrity.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Let's face it, most pretty girls aren't funny.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
When I was a teenager, if anyone recognized me for anything I did, it would ruin my day. I couldn't handle it. It was some sort of neurotic phobia. I guess I was paranoid that people would treat me differently, or in an unfair way, because of my job.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I don't blame the people for the fact that so many movies are bad. I think there's a corrupt, perverted, lazy and sloppy attitude that's pervasive in the movie business. The whole entertainment business is kind of crumbling around us.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
If you do or don't like something it's because of that thing and not because it has the right politics behind them or the right company or the right connections. It's really just about the thing itself.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
He loved me. He loves me not.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think acting is totally conducive to being a little kid, because kids are less inhibited and use their imagination.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
