I remember being a kid and seeing the 'National Inquirer' at the grocery store checkout line. When somebody actually picked up a copy, it was mortifying. You felt dirty for them. But now it's perfectly acceptable to read something like that. There's absolutely no taboo surrounding that kind of exploitation.

I've never been in a writer's room.

I think there is this thing where people are impressed - it gives you a leg up in the sense that people won't treat you like a run-of-the-mill actress. They'll assign "smart" to your word bank, your adjective bank.

Comedy is like music, and the way to make the best music is to have skilled musicians in your band.

Fail fast. Fail often... The most talented people in the world have bad ideas. That's a good thing to learn.

I really like the relaxed glamour of the 70s.

You know, I definitely have an inclination to work in the public sector.
