As a person, I'm anti-violence.
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

I think the word 'earnest' kind of has a negative connotation on some level. I think one of the things that's happened is that being cynical is somehow conflated with being sophisticated. I think that's problematic, to say the least.

Josh Radnor
Image
What I write is very personal, but not autobiographical. It's more 'thematically personal' - what's up in my life in terms of themes at the moment.
Josh Radnor
Image
Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
Josh Radnor
Image
I learned a lesson which I didn't heed: Don't put yourself in your movies. It's too much.
Josh Radnor
Image
If I’m feeling something, I have a lot of different ways to express it, you know? I can write an article about it. I can write a screenplay about it. I can act in someone’s thing.
Josh Radnor
Image
One thing I'm most proud of, in my movies, is that I think the performances are super-strong, but that's not all me. I think part of it is casting appropriately.
Josh Radnor
Image
Here's the problem: I don't like who I've become when my iPhone is within reach. I find myself checking e-mails and responding to texts throughout the day with some kind of Pavlovian ferocity - it's not a conscious act, but a reflexive one.

Each film is difficult, in its own particular way. There's a unique set of challenges on every movie.
Josh Radnor

I learned to choose my battles. Sometimes I let my producer deal with something that I didn't want to deal with.

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.
