It's not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and without ulterior motive, even - or rather, especially - when we'd prefer not to be.

More quotes by Josh Radnor
And as a filmmaker, I'm trying to unhook myself from this idea that unless you have a brilliant, long, enormously lucrative theatrical run, that your movie somehow failed. And I don't believe that.
Josh Radnor
An obsessive attention to the news, I've realized, only serves to paint a picture of the world as a throbbing blob of dysfunction, most news falling somewhere on a scale from disappointing to calamitous.
Josh Radnor
I find myself going out less and less. When you're 22 and see older people start to do that, it's depressing, but once you hit 30, you think, 'Wow, I've been working all week - it might be really nice to stay in!
Josh Radnor
When I go to movies and I love the movie, it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now, and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.
Josh Radnor
My whole thing is that I want to explore why you read books, what's the purpose of reading, and maybe that it's not that cool to hate something just because it's popular.
Josh Radnor
In writing scripts now, having made a film, I'm much more conscious of what it means to shoot and edit a movie, and that affects the writing.
Josh Radnor
It really shocks me when I encounter people who think kindness doesn't matter. Because I think it's pretty much the only thing that matters.
Josh Radnor
I'm not a masochistic reader. If something is just too dense or not enjoyable, even though I'm told it should be good for me, I'll put it down. That said, most of what I read would be considered high-end or good for you, I suppose. But, I also think that reading should be enjoyable.
Josh Radnor
I distinguish sentiment from sentimentality. Sentimentality makes your skin crawl. It's like too much sugar. But, sentiment is a great feeling.
Josh Radnor
A movie can and should have some real dissonance throughout - rage, heartache, tears, conflict, catharsis and all the other elements Aristotle demanded of a good story - but the chord has to be resolved.
Josh Radnor
Well, I stopped drinking. That was actually a big deal. I didn't go through any harrowing rock-bottom experience. I just made a decision to stop drinking.
Josh Radnor
We're like a gardener with a hose and our attention is water - we can water flowers or we can water weeds.
Josh Radnor
One man's uplift is another man's sentimental hooey.
Josh Radnor
I learned a lesson which I didn't heed: Don't put yourself in your movies. It's too much.
Josh Radnor
Each film is difficult, in its own particular way. There's a unique set of challenges on every movie.
Josh Radnor
I'll say this, and this has nothing to do with gender or sexuality: You do not want to get licked in the face repeatedly by another human being. You just don't. It's not pleasant.
Josh Radnor
It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.
Josh Radnor
I don’t think evil people or negative people are inherently interesting all the time. People who are good people getting better at being themselves - to me, that’s something that’s really interesting to watch.
Josh Radnor
No matter how dark things may get in a story, I feel it's the responsibility of the storyteller to leave the audience with at least a shred of hope.
Josh Radnor
I kicked college nostalgia in my late 20s. As much as I loved college and treasure the memories, I no longer want to go back.
