“I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I’m afraid of. I write to do all the things the viewers want too. So the intensity of the fan response is enormously gratifying. It means I hit a nerve.” - Joss Whedon

“Joss Whedon has revealed that the reason Wash and Book were killed off in SERENITY (FILM) was because Ron Glass and Alan Tudyk could not commit to sequels. Universal pictures wanted all main cast to be contractually available, so Whedon had to find a way to remove them from the story. In the original script, all members of the crew survived, with Zoe and Wash promising to have children together.”

“When you can’t run, you crawl. And when you can’t crawl, you find someone to carry you.”
