I don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman.
Joss Whedon
This is something that I do consider to be good advice: I took my first paycheck and I put it in the goddamn bank. Then I took my second paycheck and put it in the goddamn bank. I had seen the roller coaster of my father's career - top of the world, then unemployed - and I never wanted to take a job because I needed money.

In TV, there's so much compromise, it does start to grate a bit. But if you're a writer or an actor, it really is the place to be.
Joss Whedon
He's like Super Librarian, y'know? Everyone forgets, Willow, that knowledge is the ultimate weapon.
Joss Whedon
You know, the thing that I do to waste time is think of things I want to make. That's how my mind is employed.

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
I don't think I'm like Shakespeare.
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
I set out in television with one simple goal: to purchase a Russian bride. Didn't work out. Immigration stuff - it's complicated.
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.
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
There are two things that I cannot resist: one is musicals and the other is a spaceship in trouble. But I am smart enough not to combine the two things.
Joss Whedon
I got a bunch of people together to talk about doing a lot and decided that I really want to throw my hand in and do as much as I can.
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
The networks have a particular agenda, a particular model and structure. It doesn't have anything to do with content. This is not a dis on them - they are a business model, run by business people.
Joss Whedon
The misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it.
Joss Whedon
The news isn't there to tell you what happened. It's there to tell you what it wants you to hear or what it thinks you want to hear.
Joss Whedon
I've never watched reality shows, except for the Great British Bake Off, which is magnificent.
