My uncle's a lawyer and I remember going to see him in court and thinking, 'That's cool, too bad I could never be a lawyer.'

I never sort of thought of myself as a comedy writer, by nature.

I consider being female such a unique gift, such a sacred joy, in ways that run so deep I can't articulate them. It's a special kind of privilege to be born into the body you wanted, to embrace the essence of your gender even as you recognize what you are up against. Even as you seek to redefine it.

I write at all different times. I write in my bed, I write at the table. I need to get it together. I'm working on a book and working, and just jam it in whenever it makes sense.

I can play very annoying girl, very lost girl and then all the things in the spectrum between.

You're a small business and you have to take care of yourself the way you would a small business and take care of yourself the way any small business owner would.

I hate to be the person that's like, "We're doing something that's never been done before."
