Always be yourself... unless you suck.
Joss Whedon As far as I am concerned, the first episode of Buffy was the beginning of my career. It was the first time I told a story from start to finish the way I wanted. Joss Whedon Buffy loves Angel. He loves her. And I love Ho Hos. Joss Whedon I also don't trust Caribou anymore. They're out there, on the tundra, waiting... Something's going down. I'm right about this. Joss Whedon I am a great believer in found families and I'm not a great believer in blood. 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 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 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 I love to write. I love it. I mean there's nothin in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I'm so very bad at it. 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'm a very hard-line, angry atheist. Yet I am fascinated by the concept of devotion. Joss Whedon Loneliness is about the scariest thing out there. Joss Whedon Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck. Joss Whedon That title, is one of the things I fought for. A lot of people said "But it's stupid, and it's the title of a comedy movie, and people won't take it seriously," and I'm sure there are some people who still don't. But for the most part, people do see that we really have a quality show. 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 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 When I created Buffy, I wanted to create a female icon, but I also wanted to be very careful to surround her with men that not only have no problem with the idea of a female leader, but were in fact engaged and even attracted to the idea.
