Melissa [ Rosenberg] really has mastered coming from character. Everything radiates from the characters in this work. You don't feel like anything's imposed.

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. Think about it. People aren't out to get you, they're just stupid.

Luck is opportunity plus preparation plus luck.

Forgive my rudeness. I cannot abide useless people.

If something needed to be written, if something needed to be polished, needed to be re-written, I was just handed pages.
