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.

More quotes by 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
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.
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.
Josh Radnor
No matter how dark things may get in a story, I feel it's the responsibility of the storyteller to leave the audience with at least a shred of hope.
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
We are so vocal about what we hate.
Josh Radnor
There's something touching about a kid who's reading a book that's printed on actual paper. I think that anything that kids start reading, within reason, can lead to other discoveries.
Josh Radnor
It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.
Josh Radnor
Even though I occasionally appear on it, I don't watch television.
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
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
I sometimes don't know what I'm writing when I start writing it, on some level.
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
My trick is the trick that everyone knows: Work really hard and prepare.
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
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
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 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'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.
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.
