I write small and weird. Romcoms are not in my skill set.

You definitely meet a lot of extremely powerful, successful, wealthy people in Hollywood who are extremely miserable.

Unfortunately I don't live by a Target now, so I just go to a regular Starbucks as opposed to a Starbucks nested inside a Target, which is my ideal situation. That works out for me. I like that white noise, those interruptions, and the people around me.

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.

One nice thing about being a woman in Hollywood is that the women tend to be very close-knit. All of us writers and directors know each other and cling to each other for safety and support, and it's really a completely different vibe than the men experience out here, where they're all trying to murder each other.

I really just love to open a blank document and spew, whereas with a screenplay I have to be more judicious.

I'm one of the people that were divorced by 30, which is apparently a growing group... Obviously it's something that affects you forever. It's going to be interesting to see in ten, twenty years what kind of lasting effect young divorce has on the people that are doing it because it's becoming more and more common.
