Joss Whedon
The problem is I want to do everything. I really love all of it, and I love every aspect of movie-making and storytelling, and I love television, I love the Internet. I wish I had time to do absolutely everything.
Joss Whedon
Everything is a drug. Family, art, causes, new shoes… We’re all just tweaking our chem to avoid the void.
Joss Whedon
What I do like is hiking. And that's what filmmaking is. It's a hike. It's challenging and exhausting, and you don't know what the terrain is going to be or necessarily even which direction you're going in... but it sure is beautiful.
Joss Whedon
I'm not a control freak - I'm a control enthusiast.
Joss Whedon
Everybody who made it through adolescence is a hero.
Joss Whedon
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar!
Joss Whedon
