There are more stakes [in Mary and Jane], which is always good.

To be fair, that MTV was very cooperative with the film [ "Josie and the Pussycats" ], and this MTV has been very cooperative. I actually didn't even think about it until you said it.

It is not like every episode [of "Mary and Jane"] people are sitting around getting high.

There are a couple of things that we did not get to do last season [of Mary and Jane]. There was one that we had written and then we had to excise it and still have not gone back to it.

It is not an easy thing to do [found the tone right away].

I don't know if it [Mary and Jane] is a do-over or wanting someone to have made certain entertainment for us that did not exist when we were that age, but we keep going back and doing it again. I have a 12-year-old girl now and I want to make things that will speak to her. Things that will that have lessons for her to take away.
