Every time you work on a project, it's a little vacation from the project you're working on the other 23 hours. That's the thing - it replenishes you to do something else.

More quotes by 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
People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple.
Joss Whedon
You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are.
Joss Whedon
I'm not big on regret. It's not on my schedule.
Joss Whedon
Everything we do really is just a little marker on the long road to death. And sometimes that’s overwhelmingly depressing to me, and sometimes it makes me feel kinship and forgiveness. We’ve all got the same ending to the story. The way we make that story more elaborate, I got to respect.
Joss Whedon
I describe television as feminine and movies as masculine, in the sense that television wants to examine a problem from all sides and talk about it for a long time, and movies just want to hit the climax and then maybe have a smoke.
Joss Whedon
I'm well aware when they fired the starting gun I was halfway down the track, but I still ran as fast as I could for 25 years.
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
Shiny, let's be bad guys!
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
Writing is the greatest thing that can happen to a human being. It's the best.
Joss Whedon
Beautiful revelations of power are often written by the guy who got kicked around and didn’t have any power.
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
Every writer loves the idea of being able to go in and fix a problem and then leave without obligation. It's fun!
Joss Whedon
I'll always protect what I'm working on. Which is why more and more of it is stuff only I can ruin.
Joss Whedon
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
Joss Whedon
We don't need heroes so much as recognizing ourselves as heroes.
Joss Whedon
I write to be the characters that I am not.
Joss Whedon
The goal is always about the next story. It's always about the thing I haven't done before. It's about learning, or it's about becoming better, and it's about whatever story grabs hold of me.
Joss Whedon
I did my English A level in England, and we studied Shakespeare. I had great, great high school teachers, and we parsed the text within an inch of its life.
