In other news, it's been far too long since I gloated massively about the fact that I know what's going to happen on Buffy and you all don't.
Joss Whedon
When it comes to the iconic moments, you sort of have to take all of those things and distill them the same way the costumers do and everybod Distill them and then find your own. The most iconic moment in the movie is, assuming they do, when they assemble.
Joss Whedon
Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.
Joss Whedon
Actors wait tables, directors work at video stores.
Joss Whedon
Every vampire fiction reinvents vampires to its own needs. You take what you want.
Joss Whedon
If you can't do something smart, do something right.
Joss Whedon
One of my favourite sorts of actors...the rat actor. The rat actor knows his job and gets it done.
Joss Whedon
Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing.
Joss Whedon
You do not want a war. You have known violence, you have suffered loss, but you have seen nothing of war. War is not just the business of death it is the anti-thesis of life. Hope, tortured and flayed, reason, dismembered, grinning at its limbs in its lap. Decency, raped to death... You will be a murderer and more.
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 don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman.
Joss Whedon
People only respond to fear.
Joss Whedon
Most people don't see Hamlet as an old bald guy.
Joss Whedon
This voting thing is actually beautiful. Not just necessary - it's a wonderful thing and it makes you powerful. And we've forgotten that in the most negative [president's] campaign in history.
Joss Whedon
Never sit at a table you can’t walk away from.
Joss Whedon
As we all know, blinking lights means science.
Joss Whedon
Science fiction is like a blender - you can put in any historical experience and take influences from everything you see, read or experience.
Joss Whedon
The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it.
Joss Whedon
Life's a show and we all play a part And when the music starts We open up our hearts
Joss Whedon
I'm a very gentle man, not unlike Gandhi.
