More quotes by 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
Talk about what you love and keep quiet about what you don't.
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
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
There's that great Bill Hicks line - the comedian - where he says, Are you proud to be an American? I don't know. It's just where my parents had sex.
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
Each film is difficult, in its own particular way. There's a unique set of challenges on every movie.

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
I distinguish sentiment from sentimentality. Sentimentality makes your skin crawl. It's like too much sugar. But, sentiment is a great feeling.
Josh Radnor
Even though I occasionally appear on it, I don't watch television.
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
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
It's really hard to be poor in New York - I was really poor when I lived in New York.
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
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
Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
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
One thing I'm most proud of, in my movies, is that I think the performances are super-strong, but that's not all me. I think part of it is casting appropriately.
Josh Radnor
My trick is the trick that everyone knows: Work really hard and prepare.
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.
