Joseph Gordon-Levitt Quotes

I don’t have any training in dance. I can convince an audience that I know how to dance because I’m a convincing actor Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you necessarily have to be the most perfected performer, in order to express your feelings. It’s really those feelings that an audience connects with, I think, at least as much as perfected technical skill Picture Quote #1

I’m the last person to tell my friends to go see something I’m in. I could care less if friends of mine never saw anything I’m in Picture Quote #1

The term ‘popular culture’ always used to mean what the people do - pop songs, folk songs, music in general used to live because people would sing these songs and tell these stories together. Then all of these new technologies came out and it became the work of professionals Picture Quote #1

I’d been an actor my whole life, since I was a kid. And then, I quit for awhile and went to university. When I wanted to start acting again, I couldn’t get a job, and that was really depressing. So, I realized, at that time, that I have to take responsibility for my own creativity Picture Quote #1

A lot of movies try to set up a world with cool sets, costumes, camera work. In Brick, the world is born from the words Picture Quote #1

Certainly the animation technology is growing like crazy. All media technology is Picture Quote #1

Everyone has a unique perspective and that’s valid. Everyone’s perspective is valid. That doesn’t mean that everyone has the same degree of skill level as an entertainer, but skill isn’t the only important thing. It’s also what kind of perspective and feelings you’re bringing to it Picture Quote #1

Making checklists of things you’re looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you’ll be alone forever Picture Quote #1

While I’m not a celebrity, it’s such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors Picture Quote #1

Your heart has a little empty corner. You won’t even know I’m there -- I’ll be very quiet Picture Quote #1

Celebrity doesn’t have anything to do with art or craft. It’s about being rich and thinking that you’re better than everybody else Picture Quote #1

Every day I’ve got to be thankful that I am alive, and you never know - the cliche is, I guess, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow, so you’d better be at peace with whatever you got going at the moment Picture Quote #1

The Internet is allowing us to get back to what’s really more natural, which is that storytelling is a shared thing. It’s our natural way to be communal Picture Quote #1

Being politically active is more about doing things, not just standing for some platform or being involved in some political party Picture Quote #1

I think that anybody who says ‘This is the one way to go about being an actor’ has probably not done a lot of professional work before Picture Quote #1

Real life is not like a movie. Even the best movies, the most rich, fleshed-out movies are not as rich and nuanced as detailed as real life or an actual human being Picture Quote #1

I don’t blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me Picture Quote #1

I don’t buy into the glory days thing. I think every time has its great things to it. The 60s were such a glorious time but it’s easy to forget that there was all sorts of bullshit too Picture Quote #1

There’s an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn’t disagree more Picture Quote #1

The doctor’s wife ate two apples a day, just to be safe. But her husband kept coming home Picture Quote #1

When I started editing on my home computer, I said to myself, ‘Well, I could be at home studying for a class or I could be at home editing a video.’ Picture Quote #1

We couldn’t afford test screenings. This is a relatively low-budget movie [Don Jon]. But what we did have was the festival circuit Picture Quote #1

For context, the budget of Don Jon is about half the budget of (500) Days of Summer. And (500) Days of Summer is about a third of the budget of the lowest-budget movies produced at a major studio Picture Quote #1

This movie [Don Jon] played at Sundance and South by Southwest and Berlin. And it just played - well...by the time it played at Toronto recently, it was already done. But getting to watch it with a thousand people is hugely informative Picture Quote #1

That’s sort of what I wanted to make fun of a little bit with Don Jon. And I think oftentimes, if you’re going to talk about a sort of substantial topic like this, the best way to do it is with a sense of humor Picture Quote #1

As soon as you are trying to be funny or dramatic, that’s when things start feeling fake and boring Picture Quote #1

Success is not important to me, nor are power or money. If the script feels good, then I’m in. It’s that simple Picture Quote #1

Everyone has the attitude that movies aren’t just disposable entertainment - they can really mean something. I love that, because that’s the way I feel about films Picture Quote #1

That’s what life is: repetitive routines. It’s a matter of finding the balance between deviating from those patterns and knowing when to repeat them Picture Quote #1
