My parents are from the Midwest. They're from Evanston, Illinois. They moved out to Los Angeles right before I was born.

Some things are so tragic that you don't know what's funny in it, and some things are so ridiculous you don't know if it's worth talking about it.

The business part of it can be very vexing. You always have to keep certain metrics and everything. Because all I can do is make a good show.

I'm not the type of person to have a schadenfreude.

I really love having conversations and deconstructing things. I don't mind not having a laugh every second. Sometimes things deserve a little more discussion, and then you can have some fun after that.

Writing is the most frustrating, but it's something that I've always done.

I have a lot of passion for a lot of different things.

There's something about a new family moving into the White House that's kind of interesting, even if you didn't vote for them.

I just feel it's important to make sure that behind the scenes is as filled with diverse voices as in front of the scene is.
