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.

More quotes by 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 really like to travel when I write. Something about seeing new things and being in new cultures and environments provokes new thoughts in your head.
Josh Radnor
Even though I occasionally appear on it, I don't watch television.
Josh Radnor
As a person, I'm anti-violence.
Josh Radnor
And so, however many people watch this thing, that's how many different opinions there will be about it. But I don't feel like it has an agenda in terms of its ideology. It just presents a story like a mirror. It's a mirror more than it is than a distorted mirror.
Josh Radnor
To write a story about New York that only deals with people in your age and socioeconomic bracket, that feels dishonest to me. So much of New York comes from everyone bumping into each other.
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
Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
Josh Radnor
I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.
Josh Radnor
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.
Josh Radnor
One man's uplift is another man's sentimental hooey.
Josh Radnor
We are so vocal about what we hate.
Josh Radnor
Film allows me to ask some really big questions with the time to explore them deeply. I love the form.
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
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
I learned to choose my battles. Sometimes I let my producer deal with something that I didn't want to deal with.
Josh Radnor
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
My trick is the trick that everyone knows: Work really hard and prepare.
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
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.
