Well, I took ballet for many, many years, so my whole childhood really revolved around dance class. I grew up around dance; my mother was a dancer.

Every pilot I've ever written, I've fallen deeply and madly in love with. It's the only way I work.

If something ain't working, it ain't working. You can't stick with it.

Girl power in my mind is to let girls be exactly what they are. Let them be angry. Let them be resentful. And rebellious. Let them be hard and soft and loving and sad and silly. Let them be wrong. Let them be right. Let them be everything. because, they are everything.

To me, crazy is not someone who has a creative vision and will fight for it.

I think every writer has got to direct. If you don't direct, you can't protect your work. The only way to ensure that it's going to be as close as possible to what you put down on paper - and what you see and hear in your head - is to do it yourself.

Dance was always part of my life because I was a dancer and my mother was a dancer, and I love the theater.
