There's been no nepotism in my acting artistic life, but I think it's been pretty clear in my writing life. I knew what a pantoum was at age 11 - I knew form - therefore I would win the poetry contest. But I also realized that I would never be a great writer.

Even though I'm on a show that I love with people that I love - I have basically the dream job - that doesn't mean I'm not getting rejected on a daily basis.

I've seen some of my favorite actors give bad performances, and I have to tell myself that failure is a part of success.

If I had a child and she was a girl, I'd hope she'd do something different from me.

I don't need to be crazy rich and crazy famous. I would just like to keep going.

We're all eaters. That's our bond. Let's be real.

I've always just shown up to set and said the lines, [but] I want to help develop scripts and help cast and help bring a visual tone to something.
