More quotes by 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
So, no more running. I aim to misbehave.
Joss Whedon
You can't be a storyteller and a speechwriter at the same time.
Joss Whedon
Lockheed! You found me! You are the best X-Dragon ever.
Joss Whedon
I never tire of the heroes that I knew growing up.
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'm not big on regret. It's not on my schedule.
Joss Whedon
You know what? I was wrong. You are an idiot. My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it. Sometimes more than I can handle.

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.
Joss Whedon
When I say, I love you, it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman.
Joss Whedon
You don't buy a Picasso because you love the frame.
Joss Whedon
You give my regards to St. Peter, or whoever has his job, but in Hell.
Joss Whedon
There's some great reality TV, and I'm not bagging on it completely.
Joss Whedon
I love to write. I love it. I mean there's nothin in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I'm so very bad at it.
Joss Whedon
Women all live a double standard.
Joss Whedon
When I read [the script] and saw that it was my fanboy wet dream of an Avengers script and that [Agent] Coulson was a big part of it, that was the great day for me. I just drove around the streets with the script in the other seat, giggling.
Joss Whedon
It's not any huge secret that I'm an atheist.
Joss Whedon
Doctor, I'm taking your sister under my protection. If any thing happens to her, anything at all, I swear to you I will get very choked up. Honestly, there could be tears.
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
Somebody once asked me if I have anything like faith, and I said I have faith in the narrative. I have a belief in a narrative that is bigger than me, that is alive and I trust will work itself out.
Joss Whedon
