There was a time before I felt I was a real writer, when I was a yarn spinner and I just wanted to tell story until it was over. But then there came a time where I was like, ‘No, I want to understand something through writing this that I might have not understood before. I want people to come away with something to think about.’ Joss Whedon Read Quote

I’m never interested in movies where you don’t care about the people you’re watching, and that’s my biggest quibble about horror, that kids have gotten stupider and stupider. Joss Whedon Read Quote
