The barrier between TV and movies has come down and film actors are willing to do TV and vice versa, because they just want to follow what's interesting.

I don't weigh myself. I just go by if my clothes fit. I try not to participate too much in the incredible amount of wasted energy that women have around dealing with food. I just feel like being healthy is sort of a job requirement to be on TV, and being a writer is so much coping with fatigue and stress, and you just eat. You eat to stay awake.

At some point, you realize that people might be laughing at your jokes because they're afraid not to laugh.

I have to say, I'm really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date.

It's easy to fall into the trap of just cranking out things that are good enough to sell.

Read! When your baby is finally down for the night, pick up a juicy book like Eat, Pray, Love or Pride and Prejudice or my personal favorite,Understanding Sleep Disorders: Narcolepsy and Apnea; A Clinical Study. Taking some time to read each night really taught me how to feign narcolepsy when my husband asked me what my "plan" was for taking down the Christmas tree.
