More quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.
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
My mom brought me up to be a feminist. She would always point out to my brother and me that our culture does often portray women like objects...
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I've always paid a lot of attention to the way that different kinds of media affect how we see the world, probably because I've been an actor since I was a little kid.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
If you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone.
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.
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
Your heart has a little empty corner. You won't even know I'm there -- I'll be very quiet.
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 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 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.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I collect flickering stars in old pickling jars, poking holes in the lids so they can breathe.
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'm definitely not a science nerd, I'll say that. That was not my forte at school.
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 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
My favorite kinds of movies are the ones that start a conversation.

eating is the sleeping of being awake.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
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
Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.
