Never sit at a table you can’t walk away from.
Joss Whedon
You can either watch TV or you can make TV.
Joss Whedon
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar!
Joss Whedon
I'm Joan of Arc. I figured we had a lot in common, seeing as how I was almost burned at the stake. And plus she had that close relationship with God.
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
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
You can't be a storyteller and a speechwriter at the same time.
Joss Whedon
I've never watched reality shows, except for the Great British Bake Off, which is magnificent.
Joss Whedon
You do not want a war. You have known violence, you have suffered loss, but you have seen nothing of war. War is not just the business of death it is the anti-thesis of life. Hope, tortured and flayed, reason, dismembered, grinning at its limbs in its lap. Decency, raped to death... You will be a murderer and more.
Joss Whedon
I don't want to create responsible shows with lawyers in them. I want to invade people's dreams.
Joss Whedon
I loved teaching and I did a lot of work as a teacher's assistant in college, and my favorite experience was basically getting a laugh from a bunch of people because they had just understood something. Because I had shown them something they hadn't seen before, and it amused them. That's the combo platter. That's a perfect moment.
Joss Whedon
You don't buy a Picasso because you love the frame.
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
I respect the rules of TV, the rules of keeping things commercial and interesting and pop-y and fun.
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
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
Take my love, take my land. Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me.
Joss Whedon
There's some great reality TV, and I'm not bagging on it completely.
Joss Whedon
Angel, when I look into the future, all I see is you! All I want is you. I know the feeling.
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
