I feel like the high-concept shows that have some kind of gimmick tend not to be the hit classic shows of all time.

It used to be that you had to make female TV characters perfect so no one would be offended by your 'portrayal' of women. Even when I started out on 'The Office' eight years ago, we could write our male characters funny and flawed, but not the women. And now, thankfully, it's completely different.

If you are going to ask your crush for their phone number, you are one of the small group of women I am so jealous of.

Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.

I'd rather be like Odysseus than someone who was handed everything.

I had to learn a skill set. I think I had the materials to be a good comedy writer.

What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.
