I don't want to be an artist, go on tour and make a video and wear sexy clothes. I would just love to make music.
I realize my need to be liked or my need for strangers to rate me well, even with their words and their thoughts, I'm not alone in that, and the whole thing is set up culturally so we feel that way.
Music breaks my heart constantly.
Marriage feels like an industry with catering and really expensive bands.
I don't like expectations.
I have a lot of girl friends who are very adept at making friends, and guys are just not.
Caring about what people think of me decreases everyday.
Just because a situation is grim doesn't mean you don't have every right to smile.
I think that women are powerful and they're multifaceted and they're survivors; they don't have to depend on a man to do the things they needed them to do, whether it was hunting or lifting heavy things, so what's a man's place now? Who knows!
I've never been in a writer's room.
If I can surround myself with hilarious people every day, I will always want to go to work.
With any television series you establish who the character is and it's a two-dimensional version, or if you're lucky, a two and a half-dimensional character. Once you establish that, you can move forward and break all the rules. Once the audience has accepted who the person is, then you can do the exact opposite. What makes it funny and interesting is doing the opposite.
It's really fun to write cuss words. Just in general.
You can't be an openly gay movie star. You can't be an openly gay pop star, really - minus Ricky Martin.
