Whenever you see me somewhere succeeding in one area of my life, that almost certainly means I am failing in another area of my life.

I think it's sad, and weird, and strange that [race in casting] is still a thing. It's 2013. Somebody else needs to get their act together.

Nobody got anything great by playing it safe.

My parents created a world in which the only ­barrier to your success is your own imagination.

Calling a show a 'guilty pleasure' is like saying 'I'm embarrassed to say I watch it but I can't stop.' That's not a compliment.

The expected is what keeps us steady. It's the unexpected that changes our lives forever.

I don't understand why people don't understand that the world of TV should look like the world outside of TV.
