What I love about our show is that it's so nuanced and feels very real to me. I think how it explores creativity in general is very real.

The best and most talented directors - and I think it goes for people too - are the most confident in giving room to their actors and trusting them.

As I've grown as a person and gotten to know myself more - the question of how someone becomes who they become has gotten really interesting to me.

Babies are born whole and then they go through experiences in life that chip away at some of that, and it becomes learned behavior.

Most people, no matter what they do, they don't think they're a bad person. The place where their actions are coming from is a complicated place and a whole personal history. I definitely think that it helped me to look at the world a little less judgmentally.

Life is hard enough, so when you can get any joy out of it, whether it's something you do on a day-to-day basis, or the people in your life, or going to see a funny movie, there's just nothing better. That's what life is about.

There's pressure to come up with something genius every time. I feel like I keep letting myself down with my Twitter posts. I have to start keeping a journal of rough drafts of prophetic ideas about the world.
