People joke about me that I talk in voiceovers. I have that sort of inflection. But I do talk in voiceovers. I have done it my whole life.

I came to accept in myself a long time ago that I really do like writing articulate sociopaths.

The funny thing for me is, I have never lived in a network world.

I have always been drawn to characters, and this was true for my feature-writing career as well, where there is a tension between rule-breaking and rule-following.

I'm a rule follower. But there is also a part of me, clearly, that doesn't follow them.

Everybody should have a television show. Let's all get television shows!

I'm fortunate to have had my own level of success. My joys in life are I've got three little kids, and I got to buy a house that I really like, and everyone should have that.

I am very conscious on a daily basis of how extraordinarily blessed I am to get to do what I do and work with the people that I work with, so I make a practice of being grateful.

I am fortunate in that I am motivated to do what I do by just a really goofy desire to do it. Maybe I have demons that are hidden away someplace, and I'll discover mine someday.

Spies have the same kinds of needs and desires that everybody does, which is funny. The best kind of comedy derives from that kind of truth.

Obviously, everybody's favorite form of web content is more story with principal actors. But the economics of the web do not yet support.

Love is that indefinable moment of brokenheartedness when you cry and someone weeps with your tears

I never take things for granted. I always look to help out me teammates, to win and be better.

Love yourself and your friends unconditionally .

Do portraits of people in familiar and typical attitudes, above all give to their face the same choice of expression that one gives to their body.

I find relatively little relationship between the work of art and the immediate critical response it gets.

I have been fiercely private, in part because I could never understand how a journalist could be otherwise. I was also the mother of small children, and security concerns were paramount.

I'm not the most patient of people...

God said, All right, I'm gonna show you. I made you what you are. God takes care of me. I'm just the one who delivers the message.

Man marks the earth with ruin - his control stops with the shore.

The Spirit calls me, and I must go.
