- We made a solemn vow not to take any job outside of show business. We borrowed money from parents and friends, rather than take that lethal job waiting tables. This forced us to take any job offered to us. Anything.

That's how serious we were about our vow.

- I'm the least confident person in so many ways. But I believed that if somebody gave me the chance to tell a story, I would tell a story [well enough] that the person who gave me the chance would get their money back.
- Joss Whedon, Entertainment Weekly, 08-30-13
- Men are more often bribed by their loyalties and ambitions than by money.
- Robert Jackson
