I have really good female friends. I've never bought the whole men-and-women-can't-be-friends thing. I think that's sort of nonsense.

More quotes by Josh Radnor
In college, you're kind of designing who you want to be. And I wanted to be a big reader.
Josh Radnor
Each film is difficult, in its own particular way. There's a unique set of challenges on every movie.
Josh Radnor
You know, I’m not saying, “Oh, because I play a good guy on TV, I need to suddenly be villainous in a movie.” I look at it more like: does this role has a kind of urgency for me in terms of, “can I not say no to it for whatever reason?”
Josh Radnor
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
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.

I know not everyone starts out reading high literature. If you read enough you might be drawn to some other things, so maybe those vampire books are what they call 'gateway books.' I just coined that term. I don't know if there's a thing called 'gateway books.
Josh Radnor
Acting on stage is still my favorite thing to do. And everyone who's been in musicals knows that there is nothing more fun.
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
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
A lot of times, we're just sold these movies that are really cynically conceived and marketed, and they just want you there opening weekend, before everybody finds out it's not so good.
Josh Radnor
Kindness is not about instant gratification. More often, it's akin to a low-risk investment that appreciates steadily over time.
Josh Radnor
Talk about what you love and keep quiet about what you don't.
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'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
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
Time off from the news is always something I welcome.
Josh Radnor
There's that great Bill Hicks line - the comedian - where he says, Are you proud to be an American? I don't know. It's just where my parents had sex.
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
When I write a film, there's a particular thing I am wrestling with and the question or concern I'm dealing with has to be big enough for me to dedicate a year or two of my life. If the question isn't big enough, or rich enough, I'll lose interest.
