I'm a huge fan of basically anything written about complicated, contradictory women. I'm drawn to them really quickly.

I've always wanted to work for, like, "Assume your audience is cleverer than you," rather than the other way around.

I think a lot of time, I'm just writing my worst fears, of the idea of losing my mom or my best friend or doing something so terrible to somebody that's kind of deemed unforgivable, or having a really broken family.

I suppose every time [something bad happens], I have that instinct to make that joke that distracts.

Actually, my worst nightmare is losing my best friend, as I imagine most people's are.

I am comfortable talking about sex scenes and stuff, but to me, when it's physically explicit, I do feel prudish and uncomfortable.

I'm constantly on the brink of tears in conversation about things that happen to people.
