I think for writers, I think it's really important to court eviction from your tribe: to expose things and to wake people up. And so I think that that can feel like a violation to the people you love the most.

I think the most important thing is to have fun, and not to take things too seriously. Once you start doing that, then you'll start to crumble.

I adore my family. I don't love their politics. I think they're wonderful parents. They were dreadful at parenting.

I love actors, and I love the casting process. It's funny, like, some writers don't like actors because, I think, they are the faces of the show, and so you feel sort of secondary, but I love actors because they elevate the material; they make it better.

I think there's a big difference between loving someone out of duty and dependency and loving someone because you really are able to sort of grow and be whole in the context of that relationship.

Sometimes I wake up, I feel like, I'm like 80-years-old.
