Joss Whedon
Okay, uh, I'm lost. I'm angry. And I'm armed.
Joss Whedon
I think to an extent every human being needs to be redeemed somewhat or at least needs to look at themselves and say, 'I've made mistakes, I'm off course, I need to change.' Which is probably the hardest thing for a human being to do, and maybe that's why it interests me so.
Joss Whedon
The only way to real mature love is to get past the tropes of what we consider 'romance.'
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
