I just love any kind of language that can change the energy in a room. There are no limits for me, as long as it feels like it's being used in a particular way to garner or elicit a very particular reaction, so that you can then use that reaction later for something else. But when it's gratuitous language or physical exposure, then I get a bit like, "Oh! Put it away!"

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

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

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

I feel like my home is stage acting.

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

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.
