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
Certainly the animation technology is growing like crazy. All media technology is.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Every director is different. And all the movies are very different, and the characters are very different.
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.

Everyone has a unique perspective and that's valid. Everyone's perspective is valid. That doesn't mean that everyone has the same degree of skill level as an entertainer, but skill isn't the only important thing. It's also what kind of perspective and feelings you're bringing to it.

If you look at all the movies that have made tons of money, almost all of them are great movies. Even Titanic. I think Titanic is a great movie.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
A lot of people, most people who are working, they do it for money. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. It so happens that I made a lot of money already, so I don't have to worry that much about it. I wouldn't fault anybody for doing it for the money, but it doesn't interest me right now.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Normally you read a screenplay - and I read a lot of them - and the characters don't feel like people. They feel like plot devices or cliches or stereotypes.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
There's a long, long history of women suffering abuse, injustice, and not having the same opportunities as men, and I think that's been very detrimental to the human race as a whole.
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
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
Even when I was really young, I hated doing commercials, because I would say, That's not real acting. And it's not. It's embarrassing what they make little kids do in commercials.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Your heart has a little empty corner. You won't even know I'm there -- I'll be very quiet.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I was such a big Dustin Hoffman fan when I was young.

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.
