Josh Radnor, an American actor, sat down for an interview with People where he opened up about his life through the perspective of his music.

Revealing that it helps him maintain a zest for life, he explained, “It’s made me feel younger. When we’re younger, we’re always trying new things, and generally we’re a little braver about sticking with things until maybe we get kind of good at them. And I think when we get older, we’ve isolated our gifts a little bit more, or have them isolated for us, and we stay in a much narrower lane.”

Although he grew into his passion a decade or so ago, he admitted that the discovery was life changing, “I felt like I had gained a new superpower. I really thought people who wrote songs and played them were a different species, kind of, like a special kind of person I wasn't. And then when I learned how to do it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is a skill like cooking or learning a new language.’”

Comparing writing songs to writing a screenplay, he continued, “This is all this story needs, is a beautiful melody and these words. And when you get the right words with the right melody, there’s no feeling quite like it. I’m so proud of the music. How I Met Your Mother, it was like I was playing the violin in the orchestra or whatever, and it’s so nice to be the composer or the conductor.”

Radnor concluded, “I’ve always been just a huge music fan, and now to be able to create it is just a real thrill. Songwriting, there’s really nothing like it. It’s not the only thing I do, but I’m so glad it’s one of the things I do.”
