You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are.
Joss Whedon
Anything can be good. Even Last Action Hero could've been good. There's an idea somewhere in almost any movie : if you can find something that you love, then you can do it. If you can't, it doesn't matter how skilful you are.
Joss Whedon
Somebody once asked me if I have anything like faith, and I said I have faith in the narrative. I have a belief in a narrative that is bigger than me, that is alive and I trust will work itself out.
Joss Whedon
I wish more people would take the extraordinary talent they have and just let their id go because that's what we discovered. We discovered that the sillier we got, the more people believed that we were speaking from our hearts.
Joss Whedon
It's very important that we start creating new content again. We can only build on nostalgia so much before we have nothing left to build on.
Joss Whedon
Can't stop the signal
Joss Whedon
We had the camera locked, but not the location of the sun.
Joss Whedon
I get recognized just often enough to keep my ego bouncing along, but not so much that I can't go places.
Joss Whedon
People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple.
Joss Whedon
Every writer loves the idea of being able to go in and fix a problem and then leave without obligation. It's fun!
Joss Whedon
To accept duality is to earn identity.
Joss Whedon
Directing is such alchemy, it's so easy to fail. And I've seen people who are great at their jobs because everybody has a go. Editors, DPs, actors, craft services guy, everybody wants to try it out but it is such a diffuse but necessary set of skills that you never know which one this person might lack.
Joss Whedon
Shiny, let's be bad guys!
Joss Whedon
I designed 'Buffy' to be an icon, to be an emotional experience, to be loved in a way that other shows can't be loved. Because it's about adolescence, which is the most important thing people go through in their development, becoming an adult.
Joss Whedon
When I was a kid, maybe 11, I remember saying, When I grow up I wanna have enough money to buy a really cool car, because I won't.
Joss Whedon
Sadly, I hate foreigners. And Americans. And animals. And flora, and some fauna. Also the magma that is the very core of this our mother earth. I'm full o' hate!
Joss Whedon
I respect the rules of TV, the rules of keeping things commercial and interesting and pop-y and fun.
Joss Whedon
I've been to two festivals in my life, and I've never been to Toronto. I haven't really been making festival movies. This is new territory for me.
Joss Whedon
You have, which is a rare thing, the ability and the responsibility to listen to the dissent in yourself. To at least give it the floor. Because it is the key, not only to consciousness, but to real growth.
Joss Whedon
Everybody who made it through adolescence is a hero.
