It's really hard to be poor in New York - I was really poor when I lived in New York.
Josh Radnor
Image
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
Image
Film allows me to ask some really big questions with the time to explore them deeply. I love the form.

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.

Image
Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
