More quotes by Joss Whedon
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.

Joss Whedon
Obsession is beautiful. It's what makes art.
Joss Whedon
There are many films and TV shows I make where people find themselves in fantastical situations as often as possible their reactions to it are very normal.
Joss Whedon
Stay crunchy, even in milk.
Joss Whedon
If you try to multitask in the classic sense of doing two things at once, what you end up doing is quasi-tasking. It's like being with children. You have to give it your full attention for however much time you have, and then you have to give something else your full attention.

Recognizing power in another does not diminish your own.
Joss Whedon
I'm never interested in movies where you don't care about the people you're watching, and that's my biggest quibble about horror, that kids have gotten stupider and stupider.
Joss Whedon
Everything I do is going to contain the message that men who are going to be comfortable with powerful women are going to be more powerful men
