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.

More quotes by Josh Radnor
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.
Josh Radnor
I learned a lesson which I didn't heed: Don't put yourself in your movies. It's too much.
Josh Radnor
One man's uplift is another man's sentimental hooey.
Josh Radnor
But, yeah, I'm really happy when I'm writing. When I'm being creative and when I have something that I can put down. You know, if you go out and you overhear a conversation or you have a thought, you have a receptacle to go home and say, 'Oh, this would be great in this script.' Your antenna's out in a different way, and I love that time.
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.
Josh Radnor
We're like a gardener with a hose and our attention is water - we can water flowers or we can water weeds.
Josh Radnor
Even though I occasionally appear on it, I don't watch television.
Josh Radnor
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
Talk about what you love and keep quiet about what you don't.
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
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
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
Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
Josh Radnor
There's something melancholy about professors because they're chronically abandoned. They form these lovely relationships with students and then the students leave and the professors stay the same. It's like they're chronically abandoned.
Josh Radnor
It's really hard to be poor in New York - I was really poor when I lived in New York.
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
As a person, I'm anti-violence.
Josh Radnor
I find myself going out less and less. When you're 22 and see older people start to do that, it's depressing, but once you hit 30, you think, 'Wow, I've been working all week - it might be really nice to stay in!
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
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.
