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. Joss Whedon
If somebody comes up to me, it's because they're moved by something I'm moved by. I've never taken a job I didn't love... So when somebody's coming up to me, or they're writing, they're in the same space I am in. 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

Not to be able to write an entire gender? To me, the question isn't how do you do it? It's how can you possibly avoid doing it? Joss Whedon
All I ask is this: Do something. Try something. Speaking out, showing up, writing a letter, a check, a strongly worded e-mail. Pick a cause – there are few unworthy ones. And nudge yourself past the brink of tacit support to action. Once a month, once a year, or just once...Even just learning enough about a subject so you can speak against an opponent eloquently makes you an unusual personage. Start with that. Any one of you would have cried out, would have intervened, had you been in that... Joss Whedon
I write for fanboy moments. I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of. I write to do all the things the viewers want too. So the intensity of the fan response is enormously gratifying. It means I hit a nerve. Joss Whedon
When Roseanne read the first script of mine that got into her hands without being edited by someone else she said, 'How can you write a middle-aged woman this well?' I said, 'If you met my mom you wouldn't ask'. Joss Whedon
I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of. Joss Whedon

I write to give myself strength. I write to be the caracter that I am not. I write to explore all the things I am afraid of. Joss Whedon
Joss Whedon quote: "[On why he writes these strong female characters]"Because..."
[On why he writes these strong female characters]"Because you're still asking me that question Joss Whedon
Joss Whedon quote: "Half of writing history is hiding the truth"
