I had a dream I was walking down the street and didn't have to hold anyone's hand

I wasn’t old enough to realize that I could be my terrible self and have people love me for that.

When you listen to people who have accomplished so much, the one thing they always say is, "I didn't let anybody stop me." I really, really, steadfastly believe that.

As a writer, I could write in Canada and still get the American benefits. But I wanted to come down here for the good weather and for the parties, I want to be social too. Being in LA is really great for that, for just running out and grabbing coffee with another writer. I couldn't do that in Canada. I love Los Angeles, and I love New York too; I just couldn't raise three kids there.

I like how glasses suggest intelligence instead of broken eyes.

I like the idea that we can contain our weirdness, but I prefer it when we wear it all over ourselves.

Women have only had the vote for less than 100 years. Before that, we were wives and essentially kind of property. We grew up, and our parents wanted us to get married, so somebody else could look after us. And in the last few decades, it's changed. We can now have families without men. But, unfortunately, the dialogue, the old boys club, the locker room talk, has mysteriously not changed at all.
