I love actors and I love to create an environment where they feel safe to connect and thrive and try things, to fail and succeed and flourish and fly.

You never know when some small thing will lead to a big idea. Travel is very inspirational - but it's in the ordinary that I find my themes of love and work and family.

Book clubs are the best thing that has happened to the world of publishing.

I look at my roommates who are so proud of me that it makes me proud.
