The only bitterness I had is: Where is the conversation on gender? That's been going on since there have been men and women, and still we're not hearing about what they're going through.
Joss Whedon
I think it's always important for academics to study popular culture, even if the thing they are studying is idiotic. If it's successful or made a dent in culture, then it is worthy of study to find out why.
Joss Whedon
I had imagined I would come back at some point. But yeah, that was for a very specific reason. I will be very excited when I can tweet things that are just stupid puns and not be political for a while.
Joss Whedon
Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing.

The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging, he's going to keep trying to do right and make up for what's gone before, just because that's who he is.
Joss Whedon
I'm not big on regret. It's not on my schedule.
Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon
Everything we do really is just a little marker on the long road to death. And sometimes that’s overwhelmingly depressing to me, and sometimes it makes me feel kinship and forgiveness. We’ve all got the same ending to the story. The way we make that story more elaborate, I got to respect.
Joss Whedon
Paul Hollywood's You're under baked is even better than You're fired.
Joss Whedon
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
Joss Whedon
There are two things that I cannot resist: one is musicals and the other is a spaceship in trouble. But I am smart enough not to combine the two things.
Joss Whedon
My people - before I was changed - they exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It's a Claddagh ring. The hands represent friendship the crown represents loyalty... and the heart... Well, you know... Wear it with the heart pointing towards you. It means you belong to somebody. Like this.
Joss Whedon
I'm very much of the make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.
Joss Whedon
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
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
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
Don’t give people what they want, give them what they need.
