I'm a pessimist by nature. I don't think things are ever going to work out, I'm not particularly ambitious.

You know, I did not like being famous. It was a stressful and ugly time, and I'm glad it's over.

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.

Jeez banana! Shut your freaking gob!

Everybody knows that I'm not a snob when it comes to pop culture, obviously. I love reality shows.

I feel like I'm part of a generation of people who are stuck in the past and are really self-absorbed. I mean, we're actually taking pictures of ourselves and posting them on Facebook, and keeping in touch with people that should have been out of our lives 15 years ago.

For me, stripping was an unusual kind of escape. I had nothing to escape but privilege, but I claimed asylum anyway. At twenty-four, it was my last chance to reject something and become nothing. I wanted to terrify myself. Mission accomplished.
