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.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
My mom is a teacher, my dad was a writer for television, his dad was a writer for television, and combining those two has been sort of the goal of my life.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I was a little bit ashamed of American TV because I thought, 'None of the shows my father works on are as funny as my father.'
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I usually write things in my head before I ever write them down. When I write it out, usually I've already figured out what it is I'm trying to do.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I'm very much more interested in the created family than I am in actual families.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I've been in this business for a long while, but it's not like I've been waiting tables. Since I started writing, I've only worked on things that I love. I've had a lot of heartbreak, but you don't become an artist and not expect that.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
Shakespeare's language does not require a British accent. It requires a facility with language, and that's all.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I respect television in a way that some people who came out of film might not.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I never give up on anything, because you come back around, and suddenly the thing you thought you'd never do is relevant.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I always tend to think just left of center, to remove myself from the world by one step. It is very freeing, and it's a particular way of coming at stories and looking at them that I find the most beautiful stuff that I know comes from, ultimately.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
Especially, I think, living in any fantasy or science fiction world means really understanding what you're seeing and reading really densely on a level that a lot of people don't bother to read.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
Wonder Woman isn't Spider-man or Batman. She doesn't have a town, she has a world. That was more interesting to me than a kind of contained, rote superhero franchise.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
The thing with the comics is that you have license to go down every alley your brain can think of.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I always want to make sure I'm telling a story about people that I care about.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
My dad would go to work every day and write in a room full of funny people. He enjoyed it. I know great writers who find the process agonising but to me, writing has always been sheer joy.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
The fact is some people really love my work, some people not so much, but at the end of the day, I don't want anybody coming out of the movie thinking about me.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
The master plan does not have a master plan. Television ultimately finds itself, and after it finds itself, it finds itself changing.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I like horror; I like comedy; I like drama; I like action; I like female heroes.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
The people who feel the most strongly about something will turn on you the most vociferously if they feel you've let them down.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I just love language. I mean, I love it. I love stage directions. Any opportunity to write. I hadn't written in so long, I get very crazy and miserable. I - it's like not seeing my kids: I can't do it for very long.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I've had so much success. I had something to say, I got to say it, people heard it, and they agreed. That's every artist's dream. That's the brass ring.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I don't tend to write straight dramas where real life just impinges. But because I don't, when I do, it is very interesting to slap people in the face with just an absolute of life.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
I didn't watch a lot of American television growing up. I just liked to read a lot and watch movies - movies, movies, and more movies. My family used to make fun of me because I'd like every movie I saw.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
Who is to say who is the villain and who is the hero? Probably the dictionary.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joss Whedon
The networks have a particular agenda, a particular model and structure. It doesn't have anything to do with content. This is not a dis on them - they are a business model, run by business people.
