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

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

I have a real aversion to sentimentality, but I also really want to write about love and friendship.

I feel like my home is stage acting.

I know actors who say acting is acting, but I love the live-ness of an audience. I love feeling the energy of a room and allowing them to sort of teach you how to do it better.

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