As you get older, you realize just figuring out how to be nice to the people in your personal sphere is almost more challenging than trying to change the bigger culture.

I believe, in general, that even people that are self-pitying, you can feel for them.

I used to have a road-rage issue.

I think living in our culture right now, there's a universal experience where we feel like we become what we do. Sometimes that's rewarding and sometimes that creates an existential crisis.

I do idiosyncratic dramedies.

Girls' is a huge show, as far as buzz, and magazine covers, and getting a ton of copy, and awards. And yet I don't think the viewership is huge.

To me, I definitely stand in the corner of wanting to give voice to the bullied, and not the bully.
