I'm the least confident person in so many ways. But I believed that if somebody gave me the chance to tell a story, I would tell a story [well enough] that the person who gave me the chance would get their money back.

More quotes by Joss Whedon
I think Hillary Clinton is vastly intelligent and good-hearted and extremely qualified.
Joss Whedon
The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it.
Joss Whedon
I don't write just to be clever. But sometimes I do. And if you don't have an understanding of the language, then the way in which it's bent doesn't actually register. It's the old you-gotta-paint-like-them-before-you-can-paint-like-you thing.
Joss Whedon
There's some great reality TV, and I'm not bagging on it completely.
Joss Whedon
Don't give me songs, give me something to sing about!
Joss Whedon
What you cut out becomes part of the story you tell.
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
It's only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There's plenty of cool comics with female characters... But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade.
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'm a very gentle man, not unlike Gandhi.
Joss Whedon
Anything can be good. Even Last Action Hero could've been good. There's an idea somewhere in almost any movie : if you can find something that you love, then you can do it. If you can't, it doesn't matter how skilful you are.
Joss Whedon
You don't buy a Picasso because you love the frame.
Joss Whedon
So, no more running. I aim to misbehave.
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
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
Joss Whedon
Time for some thrillin' heroics.
Joss Whedon
Stay crunchy, even in milk.
Joss Whedon
I've become less cynical, which is appalling but kind of cool.
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 fact that a TV star can become president should be old news since [Ronald] Reagan, and old news since the Nixon-Kennedy debates - which the famous story, whether or not you agree, is that if you listened on the radio, Nixon won if you listened on TV, Kennedy won.
