I feel like you don't know if someone's equipped for a romantic relationship until they're out of their twenties.

People are ultimately threatened by young people taking positions of power.

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.

I don"t feel like there are a tremendous amount of roles for the size I am.

Katherine Heiny's work does something magical: elevates the mundane so that it has the stakes of a mystery novel, gives women's interior lives the gravity they so richly deserve -- and makes you laugh along the way.

I'm glad if my work can make a difference.

Throughout the day I often ask myself, Could I fall asleep right now? and the answer is always a resounding yes.
