“A lot of people say the sitcom is dead. I think they’re right to some extent, in that the shows they’re putting out are all the same.”

For me personally, I’m mostly focused on writing and acting right now.

I’m inspired by music. Sometimes more than I want to be.

A lot of the problems teenagers go through, it’s better for them to go through them on their own. If you always have a crutch, you don’t learn anything.

I usually like to throw on some flip flops and go to a really nice lunch in Venice, or Santa Monica, or stay in and cook dinner.

If you always have a crutch, you don’t learn anything.

I think a nice romantic dinner should be saved for when you and the girl you’re dating or seeing have something special and it’s a more special occasion.

We figured you could download live shows for days, so we decided to go for a cream-of-the-crop approach, but not just take the best vocal or the best performances.

When I open many books, or most leading women’s magazines, or see almost all TV shows, I don’t find myself at all. I am completely anonymous. My value system is not there.

I think it’s a promising time which will show a lot of diversification that we’ve seen in the past.

All good, clean stories are melodrama, it’s just the set of devices that determines how you show or hide it.

Textbook survival says stay still, don’t take any chances, wait for rescue. That’s a boring TV show. My thing was always, “Listen, shoelace, dead squirrel and no other way down this rock face. You can do this!”

Someone invent a NO LIFE alert so you can push a button and tons of people show up and hang out with you.

To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have deserved it.

I do believe that there are African Americans who have thick accents. My mom has a thick accent; my relatives have thick accents. But sometimes you have to adjust when you go into the world of film, TV, theatre, in order to make it accessible to people.
