I'm pretty sure a lot of directors would be thrilled to cast age appropriate roles. I am.

I love when I'm writing and I'm cringing because I know I'm doing something right.

I wouldn't say that I was an actress. I tried to be an actress. I really didn't have the gift.

In a way I'm lucky because when people suggest I won't be able to do something I have no choice but to show them they are wrong. If I say I'm doing it, I'm doing it. No matter how hard it is.

When you create, it comes from this deep part of you, and your job is you, and so when you don't get heard it can feel bad and frustrating and you have to somehow keep the confidence up.

Work very very hard. This business is no joke. Make sure you know what you want or you might be taking someone else's view instead of your own.

It was fun to create characters who had truth to them but were also made up so as not to completely offend!

Actresses feel immense pressure to keep up. Nobody wants someone who doesn't know how to market themselves.

The celebrity culture demands a camera-ready-at-all-times look or else the photo is circulated in a demeaning headline.

The pressure for an actress to look good and be skeletally thin is insane and unrealistic and it's a subject I've been fascinated by.

I work hard and support myself.

I don't like the dark arts, but I like darkness in art.

Often we are so concerned with what makes us feel good that we forget what makes us great.

Every day, human beings are worth less. That's the triumph of capitalism. The money gets made, and the fewer people we need to make that money.

[A mathematician is a] scientist who can figure out anything except such simple things as squaring the circle and trisecting an angle.

Stand-up comedy is the most relaxing thing I do. If I want to unwind and de-stress, I go out and do stand-up, often several shows in a night.

I see no reason to hide who I am or what I look like.

Whatever you accomplish in life is a manifestation not as much of what you do, as of what you believe you deserve.

Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.

Profanity is the parlance of the fool. Why curse when there is such a magnificent language with which to discourse?
