I really enjoy women and I totally understand and applaud the diversity that they have in terms of their emotions and intellects and vulnerability and strengths.

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.

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

The second episode of any new show can be tough. You have about a week to top the well-crafted and polished pilot episode that was written over six months.

I try not to repeat a story. I try not to repeat an emotion. I want it to be all sort of new for the viewers and to challenge myself as a writer, so there's always pressure. What else can you come up with?

Every character when born is a stereotype.

Who's to say where funny stops and 'too far' starts?
