I'd love to write something for a male protagonist. That's sort of the next frontier for me. I think it'd be really amazing to write the kind of parts that I love for women but for a guy.

sometimes I was so bored that I started arguments just to experience the rush of almost losing him.

When I was nine, I wrote a vow of celibacy on a piece of paper and ate it.

When you're writing a script you have the option to embellish on life or switch the order of events or make it generally more cinematic. I would stick too closely to my own experience and not necessarily think about the fact that it needs to have an event happen. Realising that I could channel my own experience into a story that was slightly more cinematic was a very important moment for me - allowing myself to accept that the kind of screenwriting I'm doing is a work of fiction.

I always thought the saddest feeling in life is when you're dancing in a really joyful way and then you hit your head on something.

I'm always afraid that I'm being unprofessional, yet I continue to sign all my e-mails 'xoxo.'

The fact is that I write under duress, often in my bed, often at the last minute. I'm kind of a binge writer I would say, which I don't support. I was always kind of that way. Probably the time I was the most regular as a writer was college. It was like, what else is there to do when you're living in the Midwest studying creative writing?
