More quotes by Joss Whedon
Everybody who made it through adolescence is a hero.
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
The thing about changing the world... Once you do it, the world's all different.
Joss Whedon
Writing is the greatest thing that can happen to a human being. It's the best.
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
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
Joss Whedon
The stupidest person in the room might have the best idea.
Joss Whedon
I don't write just to be clever. But sometimes I do. And if you don't have an understanding of the language, then the way in which it's bent doesn't actually register. It's the old you-gotta-paint-like-them-before-you-can-paint-like-you thing.
Joss Whedon
I'm not great at fear. I made the least frightening vampire show ever on TV. I'm pretty much good at heroic narratives and making people laugh, and that's pretty much it.
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
I'm not a control freak - I'm a control enthusiast.
Joss Whedon
Don't give me songs, give me something to sing about!
Joss Whedon
There's a time and place for everything, and I believe it’s called 'fan fiction'.
Joss Whedon
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.
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
You know what? I was wrong. You are an idiot. My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle.
Joss Whedon
The rules are very important in a horror movie.
Joss Whedon
Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women.
Joss Whedon
I'm very much of the make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.
Joss Whedon
The one thing a creator can bring to the table when everybody else has all the money and power is centeredness and the ability to walk away. Never sit at a table you can't walk away from.
Joss Whedon
