More quotes by 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've always found it sort of hilarious, and occasionally horrifying, how these images [in mass media] impact us, and especially when it comes to love and sex and relationships, I think we sometimes develop unrealistic expectations.
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.

If I were to point to the person who's having the greatest impact... I'd point to Elon Musk.

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
Every day I've got to be thankful that I am alive, and you never know - the cliche is, I guess, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow, so you'd better be at peace with whatever you got going at the moment.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
The important thing is to find what's unique about yourself, find what's unique about someone else. And embrace everything in the moment, as opposed to constantly comparing yourself and your lover and your relationship to a static set of expectations.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Every director is different. And all the movies are very different, and the characters are very different.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
But I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I have a pretty eclectic taste in the movies that I like to watch, and also in the movies that I'm inspired to work on.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
If you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone.
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
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
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.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Success is not important to me, nor are power or money. If the script feels good, then I'm in. It's that simple.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
A lot of movies try to set up a world with cool sets, costumes, camera work. In Brick, the world is born from the words.
