I love when I'm writing and I'm cringing because I know I'm doing something right.

I will watch a ton of movies while I'm writing for inspiration. "Postcards from the Edge" was one. I love the mother-daughter relationship and all the hard humiliating stuff she has to go through. Or thinks she has to go through.

Work very very hard. This business is no joke. Make sure you know what you want or you might be taking someone else's view instead of your own.

The pressure for an actress to look good and be skeletally thin is insane and unrealistic and it's a subject I've been fascinated by.

The celebrity culture demands a camera-ready-at-all-times look or else the photo is circulated in a demeaning headline.

It was fun to create characters who had truth to them but were also made up so as not to completely offend!

In a way I'm lucky because when people suggest I won't be able to do something I have no choice but to show them they are wrong. If I say I'm doing it, I'm doing it. No matter how hard it is.
