'Music is something that prof...

'Music is something that professionals do and not something that I do.' That's not natural. Music belongs to everybody.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

I'd been an actor my whole lif...

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.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

Our culture has a tendency to ...

Our culture has a tendency to pigeonhole people and to try to tear down anybody who's breaking out of our comfort zone. That's why we get into these cultural ruts that end up being destructive prejudices. But breaking out of that comfort zone is the most rewarding thing you can do, in your life. I do my best to push myself, when I can.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

Hollywood can be an exclusive ...

Hollywood can be an exclusive place. Who gets to be on TV, or who gets to make TV can be a small clique of an industry. There's so many talented, skilled people, all over the world, that might not have the connections or the opportunities to work in TV.

I just want to open up the ave...

I just want to open up the avenues for people to express themselves. That's what the media ought to be. It shouldn't just be a conveyer belt of shiny products to buy. It should be a way that we're all communicating and understanding each other.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

Nothing is ever finished. It's...

Nothing is ever finished. It's a funny thing. I actually think that's really the more natural way of stories or songs.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

In the old days, people would ...

In the old days, people would gather around the fire, or they would gather at a tavern, and they'd tell a story. And then, maybe a week later, someone would tell the same story, but with a different twist on it. That's how folk takes evolved.

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.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

I don't think you necessarily ...

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.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

Genres give a vocabulary. They...

Genres give a vocabulary. They give a frame of reference for the audience to enter into a movie. Then, once they have their footing, that's when you can start doing things that they don't expect.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

The director is the most impor...

The director is the most important because, ultimately, as an actor, when you watch a movie, it looks like an actor is giving a performance, and they kind of are. But, what's actually happening is that an actor has given a bunch of ingredients over to a director, who then constructs a performance. That's movie-making.

We can be anybody we wanna be.

It's nice to not feel like you...

It's nice to not feel like you're just re-enacting a preconceived moment, but there's room for an organic feeling to develop while the camera is rolling. Even amidst these enormous technical productions, Chris [ Nolan] always prioritized making sure that sort of spontaneous and organic feeling could happen at the moment.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

I'm the last person to tell my...

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.

I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness

When you believe that you can do something, that's when you can do it.

Certainly the animation technology is growing like crazy. All media technology is.

Darkness is a lot of what art is and certainly in our community a lot of it is people sort of wrestling with their demons.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

Everyone has a unique perspect...

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.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt 196 quotes

I think Hollywood, as it's been, will have to change because the model of Hollywood is 'we'll make this content, and you guys buy it,' but I don't think that's the future.
