I find it creatively satisfying to write material and say it out loud in a public place, whether or not anyone's listening.

My mom is very religious and she said, 'Whatever you think about all the time, that's what you worship.' If that's the case I'd like everyone to pop open their Diet Coke cans and turn to page 37 of their People Magazines. In this holy scripture, we read the parable of Ms. Valerie Bertinelli.

I would've been able to write anything about mental-health crises had I not felt good.

Get out of your house and go see some live performance, for God's sake. There are people creating things just outside your window.

Time flies when you are anxious!

I express things through characters because I have a fear that my own voice is irritating because thats been said to me.

I do some compassionate mindfulness every day. It's like a Buddhist thing. I tell myself that I'm doing a good job, that kind of thing. It makes me feel better.
