Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Joseph Gordon-Levitt:(about the song "I don't want to live on the moon") The original lyric goes, "There's so many strange places that I'd like to be / But none of them permanently." I forgot to sing the word "strange."...So whereas Ernie wants to explore strange places but maintain a sense of permanence at home, I apparently want no permanence at all. That's really not what I meant.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: What does it mean, HIT RECORD? Different things... It can be a noun, a musical recording that sold a lot of copies. It can be a verb, to hit record, to start recording, to make a record, be it musical, visual, textual, or anything else. That moment when you hit the REC button, when the tape starts rolling, or the camera clicks, or even when somebody writes something down, it always makes my heart beat a bit harder.
What do you suppose could change if we all started to HIT RECORD?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: The only thing I want to do is stuff with people who care about what they're doing. A lot of people, most people who are working, they do it for money. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. It so happens that I made a lot of money already, so I don't have to worry that much about it. I wouldn't fault anybody for doing it for the money, but it doesn't interest me right now.
