I love directing scenes that I'm not in because suddenly I really feel like a filmmaker which is a different thing.

When I graduated college I had a series of just humiliating jobs that I couldn't believe I was at.

When someone shows you how little you mean to them and you keep coming back for more, before you know it you start to mean less to yourself.

I've always had a talent for recognizing when I am in a moment worth being nostalgic for.

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?

I'm really lucky because my sister is a real activist soul and also hyper-intellectualized in this way that's really allowed me to wrap my mind around some of the bigger intellectual concepts and really understand the language around identity in the gender nonconforming community.

Women want to control other women because they've been controlled themselves. It's a cycle of control. I'm not blaming women for that, but I am saying we're part of a toxic culture that's feeding all of us the same messaging.
