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.

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.

I went through this very serious Woody Allen phase in college and a little bit after college. I still see his movies.
Josh Radnor
Image
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.

Image
I learned a lesson which I didn't heed: Don't put yourself in your movies. It's too much.

Even though I occasionally appear on it, I don't watch television.

We are so vocal about what we hate.

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.

I sometimes don't know what I'm writing when I start writing it, on some level.

The attitude of the director is really important, in terms of setting tone.

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.

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.
