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.

In college, you're kind of designing who you want to be. And I wanted to be a big reader.
Josh Radnor
I sometimes don't know what I'm writing when I start writing it, on some level.

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.
