Each film is difficult, in its own particular way. There's a unique set of challenges on every movie.

Image
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.

Image
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
Image
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.

Image
It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.

Image
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.

Image
I learned to choose my battles. Sometimes I let my producer deal with something that I didn't want to deal with.

Film allows me to ask some really big questions with the time to explore them deeply. I love the form.

Image
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.

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.

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

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Talk about what you love and keep quiet about what you don't.

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.

Image
We are so vocal about what we hate.
Josh Radnor
Image
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.

Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
