  "Joss Whedon on Feminism, Avengers Leaks, and Marvel’s Big Slate". Interview with Kara Warner, www.vulture.com. November 4, 2014.

• At the end of the day I have many answers for it. It has to do with my mom, who was an extraordinary woman, and a great feminist. It has to do with the people in my life.

[From the 2011 San Diego Comic Con, in response to being asked why he writes strong female characters.]
