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.

More quotes by 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
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.
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
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
As a person, I'm anti-violence.
Josh Radnor
Kindness is not about instant gratification. More often, it's akin to a low-risk investment that appreciates steadily over time.
Josh Radnor
And as a filmmaker, I'm trying to unhook myself from this idea that unless you have a brilliant, long, enormously lucrative theatrical run, that your movie somehow failed. And I don't believe that.
Josh Radnor
Even though I occasionally appear on it, I don't watch television.
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.
Josh Radnor
It's really hard to be poor in New York - I was really poor when I lived in New York.
Josh Radnor
In writing scripts now, having made a film, I'm much more conscious of what it means to shoot and edit a movie, and that affects the writing.
Josh Radnor
Time off from the news is always something I welcome.
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
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
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
I'm not a masochistic reader. If something is just too dense or not enjoyable, even though I'm told it should be good for me, I'll put it down. That said, most of what I read would be considered high-end or good for you, I suppose. But, I also think that reading should be enjoyable.
Josh Radnor
Film allows me to ask some really big questions with the time to explore them deeply. I love the form.
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.
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.
