...freedom can be a full-time job if you let it.

I didn't have a dream of being a press secretary, I had a dream of being a playwright; I had a dream of being a novelist and a poet.

I truly love the rehearsal process, those eight hours a day! I really love actors.

I really love writing comedy. Writing romantic comedy is even nicer because you get to write about how insane we all act when we're falling in love.

...no woman can love a weak man hard enough to make him strong.

If I had to name one book that has had the most lasting influence on my work, I would pick 'The Big Sea' by Langston Hughes.
