Even though I am in this weird position of being a semi-recognizable screenwriter, which isn't that common, at the same time, I'm not an actress. I'm pretty isolated.

I've come to find more satisfaction and enjoyment in writing screenplays over the years because that's what I do primarily now.

I grew up in the Midwest; you don't know any screenwriters. It didn't seem like a realistic career possibility.

Speaking of Twitter, I don't even know if I composed a blog entry in 2009, as I was too busy parceling my every thought into cute 140-character sound bites. I used to only worry about being pithy for a living; now some of my best lines are wasted on a free app!

Well, to aspiring writers, I would tell them that we live in a wonderful time where you're able to make your work visible, easily.

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

You hear the term "staying grounded" a lot when you're coming up in the movie industry and it's the one word I don't really understand because it implies being tethered almost and I don't like that. Why stay grounded? You might as well become a complete eccentric, float off into the sky and burn yourself on the sun and go crazy.
