My friends started having children after college, while I was pursuing this crazy acting career and living hand to mouth. Plus, all my boyfriends were artists struggling to make a living. Having kids didn't make any sense - why would I take on more of a financial burden when I couldn't even afford a dog?

I love being able to take a nap in the afternoon.

I love to hand sew. I sometimes make clothing for my children, which of course they grow out of in a matter of minutes. I thoroughly love it.

One of the ways I think I gain fodder for characters is by watching people.

I’m not sad about any of my life. It’s so unconventional. It doesn’t look anything like I thought it would.

I don't know what it must be like to be a writer in general, but to be a comedy writer, it's got to be something - it's a very special kind of talent.

There's a little good and bad in everyone. Everybody I've ever loved is very complicated.
