As far as I am concerned, the first episode of Buffy was the beginning of my career. It was the first time I told a story from start to finish the way I wanted.

More quotes by 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
Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.
Joss Whedon
You know, the thing that I do to waste time is think of things I want to make. That's how my mind is employed.
Joss Whedon
What you cut out becomes part of the story you tell.
Joss Whedon
It's only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There's plenty of cool comics with female characters... But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade.
Joss Whedon
The thing about changing the world... Once you do it, the world's all different.
Joss Whedon
Beautiful revelations of power are often written by the guy who got kicked around and didn’t have any power.
Joss Whedon
Do you love me? What? Do you? I love you. I don't know if I trust you. Maybe you shouldn't do either. Maybe I'm the one who should decide!
Joss Whedon
In TV, there's so much compromise, it does start to grate a bit. But if you're a writer or an actor, it really is the place to be.
Joss Whedon
As we all know, blinking lights means science.
Joss Whedon
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
Joss Whedon
The two things that matter the most to me: emotional resonance and rocket launchers. Party of Five, a brilliant show, and often made me cry uncontrollably, suffered ultimately from a lack of rocket launchers.
Joss Whedon
This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths – just because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.
Joss Whedon
My visions of the future are always pretty much standard issue. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and there are flying cars.
Joss Whedon
I think there's a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they're no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with cigars, going, 'The kids love this!'
Joss Whedon
The only way to real mature love is to get past the tropes of what we consider 'romance.'
Joss Whedon
I don't know a lot of show runners. I mean I met a lot of them in picket lines. I'm not part of a, like, secret society or pickup basketball game. As far as I'm concerned, pick-up basketball games are secret societies. They confuse me. I've never been a networker or I've never been very social.
Joss Whedon
I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn't really happen in life is what I'm interested in. As a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I'm really interested in is people.
Joss Whedon
Don't give me songs, give me something to sing about!
Joss Whedon
Sketchy: I'm no stranger to stoner logic.
