anybody brought care love sort success surprising watches
When I brought 'Sex and the City' to HBO, I wanted to do something independent, where I could be like, 'I don't care if anybody watches this thing. Just let me do something that I would love to see.' Honestly, the success of 'Sex and the City' was what was most surprising to me. It was sort of like the anti-TV-show in my mind.
fun girls push start town women
When the women start to push 40, they're not single, fun girls around town any more.
age prism ultimately
'Younger' is about reinvention and how age is very much a state of mind. I think the show is ultimately about reinvention. I do think it explores, ultimately, the differences between generations, through the prism of reinvention. That reinvention is possible.
As a writer, it is always fun to imagine yourself in someone else's shoes.
execution hard jokes laugh performance style
This is a show without a laugh track. The rhythm's different. It's not the hard jokes that you write in a sitcom. It's a different style of writing and execution and performance and everything.

certainly conscious emotional evolved expressive female funny gravitate lives rich towards watching women
I think women have such rich emotional lives that they are expressive about. I also think they're funny. I like watching strong female characters, and I like writing them. I don't know if it's conscious that I gravitate towards women, but it's certainly evolved that way.
broadcast death hearing sample
Cable's on fire. Traditional broadcast TV's hearing a death knell. I sample as much television as possible. I like 'Homeland,' 'Game of Thrones,' 'Veep.' Now reinvention's important.
art certain energy home love modern totally
I love the idea of modern art in a home that isn't totally modern. There's a certain energy that comes out of that juxtaposition.
affair grew love park
I grew up in D.C. but always had a love affair with New York. I did 'Central Park West,' 'Sex and the City,' 'Law & Order.'
work
I'm used to pressure. When writing must get done, I work in bed, on a bus, a train.
accepted ended hoping major sophomore time ucla usc
I never did theater. I was a theater major at USC my first year because I didn't get into the film school. I was biding my time, hoping to be accepted to film school, and I ended up transferring to UCLA my sophomore year.
certainly creative ego flip people stuff tension
Certainly when, you know, you put a lot of creative people together, there's ego and tension and all that stuff comes into play. But on the flip side, there's a lot of camaraderie and closeness.
