More quotes by Josh Radnor
One man's uplift is another man's sentimental hooey.
Josh Radnor
We are so vocal about what we hate.
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 went through this very serious Woody Allen phase in college and a little bit after college. I still see his movies.
Josh Radnor
Each film is difficult, in its own particular way. There's a unique set of challenges on every movie.
Josh Radnor
Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
Josh Radnor
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.
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.

Even though I occasionally appear on it, I don't watch television.
Josh Radnor
The attitude of the director is really important, in terms of setting tone.
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
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
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
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
I learned to choose my battles. Sometimes I let my producer deal with something that I didn't want to deal with.
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
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
I kicked college nostalgia in my late 20s. As much as I loved college and treasure the memories, I no longer want to go back.
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.
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.
