More quotes by Joss Whedon
The rules are very important in a horror movie.
Joss Whedon
We had the camera locked, but not the location of the sun.
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
Making 'The Avengers' was very important to me, but it was also extremely arduous. I missed my friends and I missed my home, so I decided to throw them all on camera, which is the only way I seem to know to relate to people.
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
I do listen to music. Movie scores, exclusively, because it's all about mood and nonspecificity. I love the way modern movie scoring is all about nonspecificity. You know, if I shuffled the tracks from 'Inception,' I challenge you to tell me which is which.
Joss Whedon
I don't have a particular ambition in any medium. I just want to keep telling stories. If somebody pays me, also good.
Joss Whedon
This is something that I do consider to be good advice: I took my first paycheck and I put it in the goddamn bank. Then I took my second paycheck and put it in the goddamn bank. I had seen the roller coaster of my father's career - top of the world, then unemployed - and I never wanted to take a job because I needed money.
Joss Whedon
There's a lot of anger in the Twitter-verse, as I've discovered. But there's a lot of love.
Joss Whedon
In production, in the first couple of weeks of production, that it was more like making an internet musical.
Joss Whedon
I don't want to create responsible shows with lawyers in them. I want to invade people's dreams.
Joss Whedon
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN' SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn.
Joss Whedon
I was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies' man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me. It wasn't like I got beat up, but the humiliation and isolation, and the existential 'God, I exist, and nobody cares' of being a teenager were extremely pronounced for me.
Joss Whedon
I'm very much of the make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.
Joss Whedon
You are talking crazy-person talk. Put your words in word places please.
Joss Whedon
You don't buy a Picasso because you love the frame.
Joss Whedon
Everybody who made it through adolescence is a hero.
Joss Whedon
As we all know, blinking lights means science.
Joss Whedon
There are two things that I cannot resist: one is musicals and the other is a spaceship in trouble. But I am smart enough not to combine the two things.
Joss Whedon
Everyone has their first date and the object is to hide your flaws. And then you're in a relationship, and it's all about hiding your disappointment. And then, once you're married, it's about hiding your sins.
Joss Whedon
