I actually have two children now, and sometimes I wonder if that's it. Because they do make writing and directing more complicated and more difficult, especially now that they're very young.

I don't think coolness used to be such a commodity among adults. And now it is.

I don't think I ever got the hang of the writers' room. I love collaborating with people, but I really do my best work alone, and I think I would want to - if I did something again, I think I'd want to take total ownership the way Aaron Sorkin or David Kelley does.

The public's appetite for frothy, flippant blondes has waned, but Paris Hilton still fascinates me.

I'm glad that as a 33-year-old working mother, I can still choose to wear a Hello Kitty T-shirt or stay up late scrolling through the Twitter feed of my junior-high crush.

I usually try not to think about actors while writing, because the odds of those stars aligning and you getting those specific people are so rare.
