“A lot of television shows, when you see births, the baby is coming out, and the wife is freaking, 'You did this to me!' but she is still super beautiful. There's none of the realism that we just went through.”

“If I'm a fan, I'm a fan for life.”

“'Playing House' works because we're being supremely honest to what we think is funny and not what we think other people think is funny.”

“In the summer of 2012 - and we do as we do when we get together to brainstorm an idea - we were both probably eating grilled cheese and watching 'Oprah's Favorite Things,' so it will never end, and we both brought a few things to the table of what we wanted our next project to be. And Jessica said, 'What if we raised a baby together?'”

“You grow and you change, or at least you think you do, but you're kind of the same.”

“'Felicity' was my 'Gilmore Girls' because I grew up in a small town.”

“It's pretty simple to me: we come from a really grounded world where anything you say could be the thing that the scene becomes about. We're always treating it as if we would treat it in real life. It's all observation.”

“Just because we're on USA, we didn't necessarily have to be the USA brand.”

“Go for broke with what you believe and what you think is funny and what you're good at.”

“My favorite dessert is banana pudding.”

“I just waited tables three nights a week to cover the bases.”

“When you get into a fight with your partner or a friend, you usually have some weird, specific thing that you hold on to that you fight about that has nothing to do with what's going on.”

“I would say to someone, 'Make your own stuff sooner.' Also, it's OK to say no to something if it doesn't feel right.”

“Jeff Wachtel, who was the main reason our show came back, and also got picked up to begin with, is from the New York theater.”

“I had a moment - and I don't know if it was funny, necessarily, but I realized the effect I could have on people - when I was doing a production of 'The Little Prince,' and I played the snake.”

“When you have girlfriends, and you get into it, and you share your flaws, and you're like, 'Oh my God. I almost had my period all over that chair,' or whatever. That's how we connect, right?”

“I loved Mommy and Me. I would go every day of my life. I had fun. I thought it was the best thing ever.”

“The USA marketing team are geniuses at what they do. They do the right kind of thing for every medium. They're very active on social media; they're releasing videos every day up to the premiere.”
