More quotes by 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.
Joss Whedon
Everything I write tends to turn into a superhero team, even if I didn't mean for it to. I always start off wanting to be solitary, because a) it's simpler, and b) that isolation is something that I relate to as a storyteller. And then no matter what, I always end up with a team.
Joss Whedon
We have done the impossible. And that makes us mighty.
Joss Whedon
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend
Joss Whedon
Everything we do really is just a little marker on the long road to death. And sometimes that’s overwhelmingly depressing to me, and sometimes it makes me feel kinship and forgiveness. We’ve all got the same ending to the story. The way we make that story more elaborate, I got to respect.
Joss Whedon
I describe television as feminine and movies as masculine, in the sense that television wants to examine a problem from all sides and talk about it for a long time, and movies just want to hit the climax and then maybe have a smoke.
Joss Whedon
I had imagined I would come back at some point. But yeah, that was for a very specific reason. I will be very excited when I can tweet things that are just stupid puns and not be political for a while.
Joss Whedon
I'm not a control freak - I'm a control enthusiast.
Joss Whedon
I don't think I'm like Shakespeare.
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
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.
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
Never sit at a table you can’t walk away from.
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
Identity is something that you are constantly earning.
Joss Whedon
If you can't do something smart, do something right.
Joss Whedon
What I love most about icons is finding out what's behind them, exploring the price of their power.
Joss Whedon
Don't give me songs, give me something to sing about!
Joss Whedon
People only respond to fear.
Joss Whedon
I don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman.
