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
We’re all beautiful. We all deserve attention.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I'm definitely not a science nerd, I'll say that. That was not my forte at school.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Why am I doing the work I'm doing? Why am I friends with this person? Am I living the best life I possibly can? Questions are often looked upon as questions of doubt but I don't see it that way at all. I question things to stay present, to make sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think Hollywood, as it's been, will have to change because the model of Hollywood is we'll make this content, and you guys buy it, but I don't think that's the future.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think the way the media is going to work in the future is less something that the population consumes and more something that the population creates.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
What makes a good work of art is something that honors certain traditions and breaks with others.
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
I do feel that even though I didn't grow up being a big sci-fi fan or comic books or superhero fan, I felt myself definitely gravitate towards these movies that have a high concept and yet they're giving you a moral dilemma within that.
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
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
Certainly the animation technology is growing like crazy. All media technology is.
