More quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
The traditions of Hollywood are grand and great and are going to survive forever, in a way. But they're not going to be the only way for much longer. The technology is such now that you don't have to have millions of dollars to make a movie. You can make one with a computer.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
If the inspiration is genuine and it's coming from the right place, that's what I like and want to be a part of.

Every director is different. And all the movies are very different, and the characters are very different.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness. The proof is how beautiful sad songs can be. So I don’t think being sad is to be avoided. It’s apathy and boredom you want to avoid. But feeling anything is good, I think. Maybe that’s sadistic of me.

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

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I don't think action for action's sake is so fun, but when it helps tell the story, I love doing a good fight scene.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Media used to be one way. Everyone else in the world just had to listen. Now the internet is allowing what used to be a monologue to become a dialogue. I think that's healthy.
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
I think acting is totally conducive to being a little kid, because kids are less inhibited and use their imagination.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Real life is not like a movie. Even the best movies, the most rich, fleshed-out movies are not as rich and nuanced as detailed as real life or an actual human being.

When I was Younger, I wanted to be something.Now, I just want to be younger.

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
For context, the budget of Don Jon is about half the budget of (500) Days of Summer. And (500) Days of Summer is about a third of the budget of the lowest-budget movies produced at a major studio.
