Enjoy going through life as yourself.

I felt like my parents were always involved with abstraction, and I wanted to do something very specific.

I didn't have to wait six years to get my show on the air, worry that someone else had a similar idea, or wait around for notes that took my voice out of the show.

I don't really have a place where people can reach me via email because it got a little overwhelming. People tweet things at me like, "oh DM me for a great story that you'll definitely need to use on the show," which I don't, you know, DM them.

When I write I'm never really thinking about themes or the universal.

Survivors are so often re-victimized by a system that demands they prove their purity and innocence.

I thought about ["Summer Sisters" ] so often as I was writing about these female characters who love each other and hated each other and were sort of in love with each other.
