I've never been in a writer's room.
I think part of being an adult is leaving the fairytale behind.
If I can surround myself with hilarious people every day, I will always want to go to work.
With any television series you establish who the character is and it's a two-dimensional version, or if you're lucky, a two and a half-dimensional character. Once you establish that, you can move forward and break all the rules. Once the audience has accepted who the person is, then you can do the exact opposite. What makes it funny and interesting is doing the opposite.
It's really fun to write cuss words. Just in general.
You can't be an openly gay movie star. You can't be an openly gay pop star, really - minus Ricky Martin.
It's downright undignified how many blazers I've bought over the years. And will continue to buy. They immediately give shape and add authority. With the perfect blazer, anything is possible.
You can never stop discovering music.
When I see somebody sun-drenched in a shot with their espadrilles and a cup of coffee, I'm like, "Your life is amazing. It's so perfect." I get drawn into that very easily so it totally worked, because the visual style sucks you in. It makes you want that.
People don't believe this, but Hollywood really is a meritocracy.
I have a lot of skepticism about marriage and monogamy.
Well, dating has become a sport and not about finding the person you love.
I was like, 'Oh, my God, girls are so pretty and soft. No stubble burn! What am I doing with guys?' [I] haven't dipped back since, but I was very appreciative of the experience.
I don't think any other emotion is the equivalent of laughter. So I do whatever I can to laugh all the time and to hide my pain.
