I don't want to hear about the endless struggles to keep sex exciting, or the work it takes to plan a date night. I want to hear that you guys watch every episode of The Bachelorette together in secret shame, or that one got the other hooked on Breaking Bad and if either watches it without the other, they're dead meat. I want to see you guys high-five each other like teammates on a recreational softball team you both do for fun.
I don't have very much time to surf the net, because it's as though my boss has a tracking device on me. The instant I'm looking at a Chloe sweater on Shopbop, I'll get a call in my office with a PA asking: "Paul wants to know where you are and why you're not in the writers room, and if maybe you're online shopping."
I feel like if I had my personality but was an OB/GYN, you would be psyched. You'd be like, 'My chatty, pop-culture-interested but plainspoken, wants-to-talk-about-clothes but serious-minded doctor.' I feel like I would clean up with patients. That's kind of a cocky thing to say.
I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.
I have an underdog spirit in me, and now it feels weird to kind of get my own way more often than not.
Is this a generation of orphans who are going to the improv to do stand-up?
Because confidence is like respect; you have to earn it.
Hey, a disclaimer about me: I’m rude.
I have never regretted erring on the side of withholding information.
I stupidly memorize my credit card and use it about thrice weekly for online shopping. The only reason I don't bankrupt myself is that I return about 75% of what I buy.
I'm not into red carpet looks where it's clear the woman wanted to look like a pretty, pretty princess.
Everyone should try to live their life like they'd like to be a role model.
I initially thought you were ugly, but then you walked closer to me and I realized you were pretty.
