My parents were supportive of my creativity but did not have a lot of patience for whimsy with zero production value. They had stuff to do.

I’m Adorable. I Look like Keira Knightley Running Errands!

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.

I'm not overweight. I flucuate between chubby and curvy.

My mom always used to say, "You can't say I love you before you can say I." And I think that sort of makes sense.

The Internet also makes it extraordinarily difficult for me to focus. One small break to look up exactly how almond milk is made, and four hours later I'm reading about the Donner Party and texting all my friends: DID YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THE DONNER PARTY AND HOW MESSED UP THAT WAS? TEXT ME BACK SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT!

Whenever I wanted to talk to anyone on the East Coast, it was way too late. Living three hours behind was one thing I complained about. The other thing, of course, was just that there were no seasons. I would complain about that too. Just tons of complaining, man, early on. I can't believe I'm still friends with the people I was friends with when I first started in LA.
