In the time of gods and monsters, what is the worth of a man?
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
Doctor, I'm taking your sister under my protection. If any thing happens to her, anything at all, I swear to you I will get very choked up. Honestly, there could be tears.
Joss Whedon
Veronica solves little puzzles because she, like all of us, cannot unravel the bigger ones.
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
The thing about changing the world... Once you do it, the world's all different.
Joss Whedon
If you try to multitask in the classic sense of doing two things at once, what you end up doing is quasi-tasking. It's like being with children. You have to give it your full attention for however much time you have, and then you have to give something else your full attention.
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
As we all know, blinking lights means science.
Joss Whedon
I'll take crazy over stupid any day.
Joss Whedon
The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging, he's going to keep trying to do right and make up for what's gone before, just because that's who he is.
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 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
Obsession is beautiful. It's what makes art.
Joss Whedon
I'm not big on regret. It's not on my schedule.
Joss Whedon
Oddly enough, I never studied writing. I studied almost everything except writing.
Joss Whedon
People only respond to fear.
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
Paul Hollywood's You're under baked is even better than You're fired.
Joss Whedon
I've seen plenty of films where the projector broke. The problems that we have in the digital age are exactly the same as we had. Instead of, 'There's a hair in the gate,' it's, 'The computer ate the footage.' There will always be things like that going on. Nothing is perfect.
