Trivia

add »
According to Graham Yost, credited screenwriter of the film Speed, Joss Whedon wrote 98.9% of the dialogue for that film. (edit)
Joss directed the episode "Business School" on the television series The Office. Many people who saw this episode thought it was made for him because it had vampires bats in it but Greg Daniels assures people it wasn't. (edit)
The first issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8, written by Joss Whedon, came out on March 14, 2007. (edit)
Joss Whedon never had Halloween as a kid, in the city or on the farm, however Joss remembers, "But oh! We had costumes at school and one year I rigged a little scaffold to come out of the back of my shirt and was a hanged man. Shared Best Costume with a girl in catsuit. A GIRL in a CATSUIT??? I want a recount." (edit)
One of Joss Whedon's favorite shows after the cancellation of his own series is Veronica Mars. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Joss: (on the selection of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast) The truth is, I wasn't positive that any of them were right. I didn't realize any of them had the depth they have when we first cast it. I just thought they were cute and funny. That was good enough at the time. (edit)
Joss: (on how Alyson Hannigan wasn't his first choice for Willow.) She wont let me forget that! I was charmed by her, but I had no idea, basically, how great she was. (edit)
Joss: (On the title of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.) 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. (edit)
Joss Whedon: (on having an internet fanbase) By and large, it's a really positive force. It is like having a really big drunk friend who holds nothing back and says everything openly and honestly. (edit)
On friend and colleague Marti Noxon...
Joss Whedon: She's been a vital part of everything people love about Buffy since she overhauled the Halloween script in season two. She's as good a story-breaker as I've ever worked with. And she's a leader. (edit)
