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.

More quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
What makes a good work of art is something that honors certain traditions and breaks with others.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Making little videos that you know are going to be on tiny windows is a whole different thing. I don't know what it's going to lead to necessarily, but it's certainly fun.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I was such a big Dustin Hoffman fan when I was young.
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
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 have an eclectic taste in stuff whether it be movies or music or books or food or anything. Variety is interesting.
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
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
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
If you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
That's sort of what I wanted to make fun of a little bit with Don Jon. And I think oftentimes, if you're going to talk about a sort of substantial topic like this, the best way to do it is with a sense of humor.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
My favorite kinds of movies are the ones that start a conversation.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I have a lot of trouble getting turned on by girls who are turned on by celebrity.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I'm tired of being tired of being tired of being.
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
Real life is not as simple as it is on a screen. I think real life is actually a lot more beautiful.
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.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Music belongs to everybody. Having a little clique of the industry tell us what our culture is... I don't think that's healthy. And the Internet is helping us get away from that.
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
Every director is different. And all the movies are very different, and the characters are very different.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
