I would go to work from 9 to 6, go home, nap for two hours, then write from 8 to 2 a.m.

I seriously consider television to be the people's medium.

My dad finds Twitter just infinitely unrelatable. He's like, 'Why would I want to tell anybody what I had for a snack, it's private?!' And I'm like, 'Why would you even have a snack if you didn't tell anybody? Why bother eating?'

Aren't most of us dealing with the fact that we have moms who either weren't ready to be moms or had some level of resentment about it? Everybody is dealing with the different iteration of pain their mom has handed them.

You’ve learned a new rule and it’s simple: don’t put yourself in situations you’d like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself, like that bunny in Runaway Bunny runs to its mother, but you are the mother and you’ll see that later and be very, very proud.

I didn't have to wait six years to get my show on the air, worry that someone else had a similar idea, or wait around for notes that took my voice out of the show.

I still go to a party and say something embarrassing to someone, and then write them a weird e-mail about it the next day, and then write them a text because I think they didn't get the e-mail. No matter what happens with your level of success, you still have to deal with all the baggage that is yourself.

I don't really have a place where people can reach me via email because it got a little overwhelming. People tweet things at me like, oh DM me for a great story that you'll definitely need to use on the show, which I don't, you know, DM them.

I'm always afraid that I'm being unprofessional, yet I continue to sign all my e-mails 'xoxo.'
