More quotes by 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
Time for some thrillin' heroics.
Joss Whedon
The rules are very important in a horror movie.
Joss Whedon
You are talking crazy-person talk. Put your words in word places please.
Joss Whedon
Very occasionally, if you pay really close attention, life doesn't suck.
Joss Whedon
I've become less cynical, which is appalling but kind of cool.
Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon
Sketchy: I'm no stranger to stoner logic.
Joss Whedon
I don't understand why or how anyone ever pulled off the whole idea of 'women are inferior.'
Joss Whedon
You have, which is a rare thing, the ability and the responsibility to listen to the dissent in yourself. To at least give it the floor. Because it is the key, not only to consciousness, but to real growth.
Joss Whedon
The fact of the matter is fame predates even the age of cinema. There's always been fame, there's always been the caveman who's prettier or killed a bigger lion, or somebody started a story about a guy.
Joss Whedon
I was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies' man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me. It wasn't like I got beat up, but the humiliation and isolation, and the existential 'God, I exist, and nobody cares' of being a teenager were extremely pronounced for me.
Joss Whedon
I don't think I'm like Shakespeare.
Joss Whedon
In my generation, there was a single girl given the strength and skill to fight the spread of darkness...but in your generation, there are nearly two thousand with the powers of the slayer, and not all of them have chosen to use their newfound abilities conscientiously.
Joss Whedon
I've never watched reality shows, except for the Great British Bake Off, which is magnificent.
Joss Whedon
When I say, I love you, it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman.
Joss Whedon
I'm the least confident person in so many ways. But I believed that if somebody gave me the chance to tell a story, I would tell a story [well enough] that the person who gave me the chance would get their money back.
Joss Whedon
Most people don't see Hamlet as an old bald guy.
