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.

I've been to two festivals in my life, and I've never been to Toronto. I haven't really been making festival movies. This is new territory for me.
Joss Whedon
You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are.
Joss Whedon
You don't buy a Picasso because you love the frame.
Joss Whedon
If you can't do something smart, do something right.
Joss Whedon
I am not made of steel. Rage. I...am made... of RAGE!!!!
Joss Whedon
People only respond to fear.

I don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman.

In TV, there's so much compromise, it does start to grate a bit. But if you're a writer or an actor, it really is the place to be.
Joss Whedon
The first lesson a watcher learns is to separate truth from illusion. Because in the world of magics, it's the hardest thing to do.
Joss Whedon
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.
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
My visions of the future are always pretty much standard issue. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and there are flying cars.
Joss Whedon
I don't know a lot of show runners. I mean I met a lot of them in picket lines. I'm not part of a, like, secret society or pickup basketball game. As far as I'm concerned, pick-up basketball games are secret societies. They confuse me. I've never been a networker or I've never been very social.
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
I've seen [Trump] appear in a film or a TV show cameo or the tabloids, and he's a grotesquely distasteful human being and always has been, always made me want to take a shower.
Joss Whedon
We'll never make Firefly again, because that was a thing that existed and is now gone. And Serenity isn't Firefly, and whatever comes next won't be, either. But I would love to tell more stories of this universe and to hang out with these people on and off for the rest of my career.
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
Okay, uh, I'm lost. I'm angry. And I'm armed.
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.
