People only respond to fear.
Joss Whedon
Most people don't see Hamlet as an old bald guy.
Joss Whedon
What Sarah brings to the part is her intelligence, at the same time, she's got that hormonal, idiosyncratic goofiness that makes Buffy not just the Terminator.
Joss Whedon
Tonight sucks. And look at me. Look at - look at stupid Buffy. Too dumb for college, and-and-and freak Buffy, too strong for construction work. And-and my job at the magic shop? I was bored to tears even before the hour that wouldn't end. And the only person that I can even stand to be around is a... neutered vampire who cheats at kitten poker.
Joss Whedon
What I love most about icons is finding out what's behind them, exploring the price of their power.
Joss Whedon
I wish more people would take the extraordinary talent they have and just let their id go because that's what we discovered. We discovered that the sillier we got, the more people believed that we were speaking from our hearts.
Joss Whedon
I also don't trust Caribou anymore. They're out there, on the tundra, waiting... Something's going down. I'm right about this.
Joss Whedon
Don’t give people what they want, give them what they need.
Joss Whedon
A great scientist is more open to a new idea than almost anybody.
Joss Whedon
I never tire of the heroes that I knew growing up.
Joss Whedon
When I read [the script] and saw that it was my fanboy wet dream of an Avengers script and that [Agent] Coulson was a big part of it, that was the great day for me. I just drove around the streets with the script in the other seat, giggling.
Joss Whedon
We talked about various aspects of what we wanted to talk about, Hillary [Clinton] and [Donald] Trump and down-ballot stuff, various issues. One of the things that it showed was you've got to use fear.
Joss Whedon
Somebody once asked me if I have anything like faith, and I said I have faith in the narrative. I have a belief in a narrative that is bigger than me, that is alive and I trust will work itself out.
Joss Whedon
The only bitterness I had is: Where is the conversation on gender? That's been going on since there have been men and women, and still we're not hearing about what they're going through.
Joss Whedon
I'm not a control freak - I'm a control enthusiast.
Joss Whedon
I've seen [Trump] appear in a film or a TV show cameo or the tabloids, and he's a grotesquely distasteful human being and always has been, always made me want to take a shower.
Joss Whedon
There’s a fine line between support and stalking and let’s all stay on the right side of that.
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 am not made of steel. Rage. I...am made... of RAGE!!!!
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
