You want a happy ending, but not such a ridiculous happy ending that it doesn't mean anything to anybody.

The awards world can be ridiculous, but I'm not one to bash it. I love awards! When I've been nominated for Emmys and when I won my DGA Award, I couldn't have been happier. I always liked getting a gold star in class.

Women comedy is different than men comedy. Guy comedy is very aggressive, it's about insulting each other, name-calling, and kind of busting each other's chops, and that's not what women's comedy is.

Why is a movie starring women considered a gimmick and a movie starring men is just a normal movie?

My style of comedy is very real and bittersweet, and sort of always on the verge of kind of being tragic.

Where there seems to be a difference between guys being nuts and women being nuts is that guys are much more open in calling each other on stuff; lots of insults and dirty names. Whereas women will talk frankly and honesty, but there also seems to be more passive aggressiveness.

Every director should take an acting class.
