I loved the idea of a girl going into a dark alley, and a monster comes, and then she just aces him. It’s like, you want to see the tiny person suddenly take control. God, my whole career is basically about that!

More quotes by Joss Whedon
This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths – just because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.
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
Recognizing power in another does not diminish your own.
Joss Whedon
Identity is something that you are constantly earning.

What I do like is hiking. And that's what filmmaking is. It's a hike. It's challenging and exhausting, and you don't know what the terrain is going to be or necessarily even which direction you're going in... but it sure is beautiful.

A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend

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.

Anything can be good. Even Last Action Hero could've been good. There's an idea somewhere in almost any movie : if you can find something that you love, then you can do it. If you can't, it doesn't matter how skilful you are.
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
I don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman.
Joss Whedon
In production, in the first couple of weeks of production, that it was more like making an internet musical.
Joss Whedon
The problem is I want to do everything. I really love all of it, and I love every aspect of movie-making and storytelling, and I love television, I love the Internet. I wish I had time to do absolutely everything.
Joss Whedon
Most people don't see Hamlet as an old bald guy.
Joss Whedon
Cordelia: I personally don't think it's possible to come up with a crazier plan. Oz: We attack the Mayor with hummus. Cordelia: I stand corrected. Oz: Just keeping things in perspective.
Joss Whedon
Don't give me songs, give me something to sing about!
Joss Whedon
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar!
Joss Whedon
Very occasionally, if you pay really close attention, life doesn't suck.
Joss Whedon
War is not just the business of death, it is the antitheses of life.
Joss Whedon
I go to movies expecting to have a whole experience. If I want a movie that doesn't end I'll go to a French movie. A movie has to be complete within itself, it can't just build off the first one or play variations.
Joss Whedon
We had the camera locked, but not the location of the sun.
