Cigarettes are an instant signifier in culture. It punctuates a joke, or puts that extra zing on a punch line. I like them as a prop. I think it can be really useful for character and texture and contrast and all of that.

I don't like to get bored and don't like to repeat myself.

During my teen years, for Halloween, I went as a registered voter.

There are so many brilliant women on television right now.

I love dogs because they're so adaptable.

I watch things that are fun, or funny, or interesting.

It's important to me if I'm having a good time than I feel like the work is better. The quality of it is better and my level of interest is higher.
