More quotes by 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
It's only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There's plenty of cool comics with female characters... But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade.
Joss Whedon
I'm not big on regret. It's not on my schedule.
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
People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple.
Joss Whedon
One of my favourite sorts of actors...the rat actor. The rat actor knows his job and gets it done.
Joss Whedon
If I find out I have to write today and nothing else, that’s a perfect day. I know a lot of people who are great at it and make it look easy who are tortured and miserable people. Writing for me is perfect peace.
Joss Whedon
I can do web, comic books, macrame, art.
Joss Whedon
I'm never interested in movies where you don't care about the people you're watching, and that's my biggest quibble about horror, that kids have gotten stupider and stupider.
Joss Whedon
We have done the impossible. And that makes us mighty.
Joss Whedon
I believe we are the only sentient beings in the universe, and I believe that 500 years from now, we will still be the only sentient beings around.
Joss Whedon
Oddly enough, I never studied writing. I studied almost everything except writing.

Can't stop the signal

I think there's a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they're no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with cigars, going, 'The kids love this!'
Joss Whedon
When it comes to the iconic moments, you sort of have to take all of those things and distill them the same way the costumers do and everybod Distill them and then find your own. The most iconic moment in the movie is, assuming they do, when they assemble.
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.

Veronica solves little puzzles because she, like all of us, cannot unravel the bigger ones.
Joss Whedon
I am not made of steel. Rage. I...am made... of RAGE!!!!
Joss Whedon
Are you all right? Oh my god! I phased! Are you all right? Are you? It was strange. I can't believe I phased just then! That's never...it was totally your fault. I like to think so, yes. Tee hee.
Joss Whedon
Beautiful revelations of power are often written by the guy who got kicked around and didn’t have any power.
