You either have to write or you shouldn't be writing. That's... - Joss Whedon

"It is the most fun I’m ever going to have. I love to write. I love it. I mean, there’s nothing in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I’m so very bad at it. It’s the greatest peace when I’m in a scene, and it’s just me and the character, that’s it, that’s where I want to live my life."

"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."

"Two things that matter to me. Emotional resonance and rocket launchers."

"If you're going to make a science fiction movie, then have a hover craft chase, for God's sake."
