Zitat des Tages von Joss Whedon:

I've often said there's no such thing as a track record in TV. I seen people who created things much more successful than mine treated like dirt.

What I do like is hiking. And that's what filmmaking is. It's a hike. It's challenging and exhausting, and you don't know what the terrain is going to be or necessarily even which direction you're going in... but it sure is beautiful.

Joss Whedon

Casting is storytelling.

Joss Whedon

Writers are completely out of touch with reality. Writers are a crazy person. We create conflict - for a living. We do this all the time, sometimes on a weekly basis; we create horrible, incredible circumstances and then figure a way out of them. That's what we do.

Joss Whedon

My favorite part of Comic-Con? The groupies.

Joss Whedon

I had older brothers, and I don't think there's anything worse than an older brother. They pretty much told me the end of everything they got to see before I did.

Joss Whedon

My absolute favorite part of Comic-Con is seeing, like, a 'Mass Effect' guy hanging out with a 'Sailor Moon,' and they're just having a great time.

Joss Whedon

I've been doing Shakespeare readings with my friends for years.

Joss Whedon

I think there's a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they're no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with cigars, going, 'The kids love this!'

Joss Whedon

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

Joss Whedon

The Internet community started forming right when 'Buffy' started airing, and the notion of a show creator being anything other than a name people recognize on the screen was completely new.

Joss Whedon

The master plan does not have a master plan. Television ultimately finds itself, and after it finds itself, it finds itself changing.

Joss Whedon

I do have screenplays I've written that never saw the light of day, but I don't usually go back to them. When I've told a story, I want to tell another story.

Joss Whedon

I'll always protect what I'm working on. Which is why more and more of it is stuff only I can ruin.

Joss Whedon

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

The more you can create a structure by which people live in a fantastical situation and by which they will act, and the more you lay that out for the audience, the more they will feel at home in it.

I think 'Batman Begins' is certainly my favorite Batman movie I've seen.

Joss Whedon

I hate it when people talk about Buffy as being campy... I hate camp, I don't enjoy dumb TV. I believe Aaron Spelling has single-handedly lowered SAT scores.

Joss Whedon

The problem for me is that 'Watchmen,' one of the great comics of all time, is a look at superheroes that has gone beyond the concept of or necessity for superheroes.

Joss Whedon

Most of the dialogue in 'Speed' is mine, and a bunch of the characters. That was actually pretty much a good experience. I have quibbles. I also have the only poster left with my name still on it. Getting arbitrated off the credits was un-fun.

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

Making 'The Avengers' was very important to me, but it was also extremely arduous. I missed my friends and I missed my home, so I decided to throw them all on camera, which is the only way I seem to know to relate to people.

Joss Whedon

I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn't really happen in life is what I'm interested in. As a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I'm really interested in is people.

Joss Whedon

Ultimately what I end up writing about is helplessness and the flipside of that, empowerment.

Joss Whedon

Writers are completely out of touch with reality.

Joss Whedon

I've seen plenty of films where the projector broke. The problems that we have in the digital age are exactly the same as we had. Instead of, 'There's a hair in the gate,' it's, 'The computer ate the footage.' There will always be things like that going on. Nothing is perfect.

Joss Whedon

The two things that matter the most to me: emotional resonance and rocket launchers. Party of Five, a brilliant show, and often made me cry uncontrollably, suffered ultimately from a lack of rocket launchers.

Joss Whedon

The musicals that I love on stage are generally meant for the stage.

Joss Whedon

I am a great believer in found families and I'm not a great believer in blood.

Joss Whedon

I respect television in a way that some people who came out of film might not.

Joss Whedon

I love a straightforward character. I am the guy who loves Cyclops on the 'X-Men', because he is square.

Joss Whedon

Always be yourself... unless you suck.

Joss Whedon

TV does a thing that film can never do. It takes you to a place that no novel written after the late 19th century can. You can just go through people's lives; it's like a marriage.

Joss Whedon

I've often said there's no such thing as a track record in TV. I seen people who created things much more successful than mine treated like dirt.

Joss Whedon
