You know, I can't imagine 9 to 5 writing. That takes some stamina.

You are the sum total of the choices you make every day.

When I'm sitting writing, I know that something works if I've made myself cry, or laugh, or have a visceral emotion.

When I was a kid and going to the movies I was overwhelmed by the way women were always second-class citizens in the film.

So writing became a way to get to act in things that I thought were meaningful, and hopefully write stronger roles for other women.

Life is beautiful because it doesn't last.
