My female writers have always been my backbone. I had a writing room of six women for five years so I know what women do. Cultivated by me, by the way!

Only two things change when you get older: the energy in your voice and the time of night you feel it's appropriate to call someone. In your 20s, people call at 2 a.m. and yell, 'Are you up?' into the answering machine. Now, someone calls after 8 p.m., and my boyfriend is like, 'Who is that? Who could be calling at this hour?'

That's the thing about needs. Sometimes when you get them met, you don't need them anymore.

The jokes I used to do on 'Sex and the City' were always comic character things, and they were rarely hard jokes. As soon as you go up in front of people, it demands laughter.

I always like a good math solution to any love problem.

I don't wear a watch. How do I know my time? I find that someone will always tell me.

The first-time director thing is just another label somebody puts on you.
