More quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I collect flickering stars in old pickling jars, poking holes in the lids so they can breathe.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I just love to act. It's my favorite thing to do in the world, and what keeps it interesting, to me, is the creative challenge. So, different kinds of characters, that's what I just love to do.

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

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
If you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Movies are different from real life.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I was such a big Dustin Hoffman fan when I was young.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
You're gone. No mailing address. But I send you letters anyway.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I do call myself a feminist. Absolutely!
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
In the old days, people would gather around the fire, or they would gather at a tavern, and they'd tell a story. And then, maybe a week later, someone would tell the same story, but with a different twist on it. That's how folk takes evolved.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Most of what Hollywood puts out is crap anyway.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
We can be anybody we wanna be.
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.
