More quotes by Joss Whedon
We have done the impossible. And that makes us mighty.
Joss Whedon
I think to an extent every human being needs to be redeemed somewhat or at least needs to look at themselves and say, 'I've made mistakes, I'm off course, I need to change.' Which is probably the hardest thing for a human being to do, and maybe that's why it interests me so.
Joss Whedon
I keep thinking they’re gonna call me. I keep thinking they’re gonna crunch the numbers and think, oh, we can make money with this! And they don’t.
Joss Whedon
I've got a theory, it could be bunnies... I've got a theor- Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes They've got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses. And what's with all the carrots-? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway? Bunnies, bunnies it must be bunnies! ...or maybe midgets.
Joss Whedon
What you cut out becomes part of the story you tell.
Joss Whedon
Every day's a negotiation and sometimes it's done with guns.
Joss Whedon
I don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman.
Joss Whedon
The misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it.
Joss Whedon
I don't understand why or how anyone ever pulled off the whole idea of 'women are inferior.'
Joss Whedon
I eat 'The Walking Dead' like its made of brains. Can't even watch the show, I love the book so much.
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'm not a control freak - I'm a control enthusiast.
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
I am a great believer in found families and I'm not a great believer in blood.
Joss Whedon
To me, the most telling thing is we have a man [Donald Trump] who cannot complete a sentence.
Joss Whedon
Now there’s us, staking out our piece of cinematic turf (might be small but it’s ours). And the music has to fit the vision as specifically as it did for [Star Wars and The Matrix.] OUR music comes from THEIR music, this scrappled bunch. It is spare, intimate, mournful and indefatigable.
Joss Whedon
A writer is supposed to have anonymity.
Joss Whedon
I set out in television with one simple goal: to purchase a Russian bride. Didn't work out. Immigration stuff - it's complicated.
Joss Whedon
I can do web, comic books, macrame, art.
