I never sort of thought of myself as a comedy writer, by nature.

• I feel like a lot of the female relationships I see on TV or in movies are in some way free of the kind of jealousy and anxiety and posturing that has been such a huge part of my female friendships, which I hope lessens a little bit with age.
• At my age, no one is married, no one has kids, no one has a career.
• I'd love to write something for a male protagonist. That's sort of the next frontier for me. I think it'd be really amazing to write the kind of parts that I love for women but for a guy.
• I went to an amazing school in Brooklyn called St. Anne's that's a really kind of creative hot bed.
• If you're writing, you're starting in private. It can really be this amazing, private, freeing experience. Forget that it's for other people - that comes in later.
• My uncle's a lawyer and I remember going to see him in court and thinking, 'That's cool, too bad I could never be a lawyer.'
• All my freakouts have been pretty private and directed at family pets and/or people I have been dating for too short a time to freak out at in that way.
• I'm not great at dating, but I need to do it to relax.
• I feel like I don't watch that many shows with death.
• If you're writing, you're starting in private. It can really be this amazing, private, freeing experience. Forget that it's for other people - that comes in later.
