Vodka Redbull: Upper meets downer in an effervescent hybrid of bubble gum and junkie piss

There's this double standard that exists and it really frustrates me. If a woman chooses to work, people say, "Oh it's so sad that you're not at home with your children." But no one ever says that to a man because it's assumed that the man is going to be the provider.

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.

This is for the writers. I want to thank all the writers. I especially want to thank my fellow nominees because I worship you guys and I'm learning from you every day.

It's actually much harder to develop a TV show than I had anticipated.

I've always been a writer, I've always been a storyteller, but I never thought about screenwriting.

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