    Not a bad statement by Josh : "failure is guaranteed; 100% you're gonna fail. It's just a matter of : can you string together those failures so that it turns into something called success."

    Josh just seems like an actually grateful dude, I know he literally said it himself, but his tone and attitude do have this "I know you know me for HIMYM and even though I'm tired of it I still really appreciate it and am fond of it" ring to it that really gets to me. Seems like a dude that knows his place, and that seems well sorted out.

      I think she might be the best interviewer i've seen , she really knows how to get the point out and move on to another without ruining the flow of the conversation or making it stagnate for 1 second . She even knew how to steer the conversation part to something interesting which eventually became the whole appeal of the video . " wait wait wait wait you got fired ?" and she kept him there coz the drama . 10/10 from me

      IDK him, but as an actor, I play roles I can act less and reveal more. IDK, maybe Ted changed him to more like the character, maybe he always was or maybe in reality he's nothing like the character. Maybe I am bias, but I think he played Ted well because they shared a lot.

    Thank you Josh! Amazing interview, and he is such a humble, genuine, talented guy.. he was so on spot talking about the fame , success and happiness, that it doesnt necessarily come along with each other. I can see, he might lean to depressive thoughts, or being so, n I'm saying it because I Am having depression and what he says that our head, mind is the worst enemy and biggest obstacle. I couldnt agree more . . This pattern of negative thoughts are just coming all over so often, it's hard to not believe in them sometimes. It's hard to pick good ones .. thats why he is practicing meditation, which is cool thing, I used to do, but gave up .. I just love him being so " close"to us, so real, and kind. He is rare type, that's why he is not in this Show off Hollywood scenes. Much respect, and love to Josh! Always!

    @Josh I meet you awhile a go and you seemed a bit grumpy. Seeing this definitely changes my perspective of you and understanding your journey. Apologies for my ignorance and many wonderful moments on your journey.

    He's a lot like Ted. But then having a camera on his face probably subconsciously turns him into Ted given that he played that role for so long.
