Don’t give people what they want, give them what they need. - Joss Whedon
"Don’t give people what they want, give them what they need."
"Don’t give people what they want, give them what they need."
"Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE."
"Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke."
"Everyone has their first date and the object is to hide your flaws. And then you're in a relationship, and it's all about hiding your disappointment. And then, once you're married, it's about hiding your sins."
"Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."
"If you're going to make a science fiction movie, then have a hover craft chase, for God's sake."
