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.

More quotes by Joss Whedon
There is always backlash. Everything gets backlash.
Joss Whedon
I think everyone who makes movies should be forced to do television. Because you have to finish. You have to get it done, and there are a lot of decisions made just for the sake of making decisions. You do something because it's efficient and because it gets the story told and it connects to the audience.
Joss Whedon
I do listen to music. Movie scores, exclusively, because it's all about mood and nonspecificity. I love the way modern movie scoring is all about nonspecificity. You know, if I shuffled the tracks from 'Inception,' I challenge you to tell me which is which.
Joss Whedon
Oddly enough, I never studied writing. I studied almost everything except writing.
Joss Whedon
I write to be the characters that I am not.
Joss Whedon
I never tire of the heroes that I knew growing up.
Joss Whedon
So, no more running. I aim to misbehave.
Joss Whedon
To me, the most telling thing is we have a man [Donald Trump] who cannot complete a sentence.
Joss Whedon
I'm totally cool. I'm totally calm, and I'm totally cool. My calm is exceeded only by my cool. Which is total. Here we go.
Joss Whedon
An audience who watches my shows knows who I am, knows that right when they think I'm going to make a joke, I'm going to blow something up, or during the worst peril, I'm going to have someone give someone a kiss - it's just going to happen.
Joss Whedon
There is nothing more painful in the world than Aly when she makes her big eyes. She makes her big hurt eyes, there's nothing you can do. She just kills you.
Joss Whedon
I've become less cynical, which is appalling but kind of cool.
Joss Whedon
Directing is such alchemy, it's so easy to fail. And I've seen people who are great at their jobs because everybody has a go. Editors, DPs, actors, craft services guy, everybody wants to try it out but it is such a diffuse but necessary set of skills that you never know which one this person might lack.
Joss Whedon
The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it.
Joss Whedon
Science fiction is like a blender - you can put in any historical experience and take influences from everything you see, read or experience.
Joss Whedon
People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple.
Joss Whedon
That wouldn't be a first, now would it? Jean. Jean Grey is dead, Agent. Yeah, that'll last.
Joss Whedon
We had the camera locked, but not the location of the sun.
Joss Whedon
I'll take crazy over stupid any day.
Joss Whedon
I loved the idea of a girl going into a dark alley, and a monster comes, and then she just aces him. It’s like, you want to see the tiny person suddenly take control. God, my whole career is basically about that!
Joss Whedon
