What I loved about myself as a teenager is that I didn't know any better to be afraid or to be insecure.

I love how, when you're a teenager, you're really opinionated, you're really right, you can't be wrong, and you don't know any better.

You just write what you know, and I know what it's like to be a teenager in 1993,, and I'm a woman, so I'm definitely going to write from that point of view.

What's great about having an audience is they can let you know what they don't think is funny, and you can just cut that out and keep trying.

Actors know what actors are insecure about - and they're all insecure.

Let's talk about Connie Britton, who I love. I don't know of a person who doesn't love her, I don't know a man or woman who doesn't have a crush on her, she's the most fabulous person in the entire world, and she's such an incredible actress, and so sweet, and I love her.
