“On 'Modern Family,' we have outlines, really strong outlines, when we go off to draft, so you have a reasonable expectation that that will be the story of your episode.”

“And what's nice about 'Sunny' is that it has this honesty with the viewers, which is, like, they're here because they're on a television show and they're locked in this purgatory where they have to keep doing the same things with each other.”

“People should see the good that can happen when you aren't afraid to accept responsibility for your mistakes.”

“When women are seen on TV being crass or funny or making jokes or undercutting someone, then you feel it's socially acceptable for a woman to do that. More women are growing up feeling, 'I can speak my mind and say what I want.'”

“'Community' definitely always had a feel of being like college, where it's like, 'Let's band together and stay up all night to do this crazy thing!'”

“Just because you're a woman in gaming doesn't mean you're a nice person all the time necessarily.”

“We're sort of in an age now when we have too much information, which can take us down a specific path. You're getting too much information too quickly to be able to slow it down and parse it out.”

“I grew up watching 'I Love Lucy.'”

“I haven't worked on a lot of different shows, but from just watching different shows I've noticed that there isn't necessarily on every show that love of crafting an episode that has the three part act structure that comes around and actually tells a complete story.”

“I was groped by a producer at a party a couple years ago, after which I made an anonymous complaint to HR. As far as I know he was never personally disciplined.”

“What I always liked about 'Sunny' whenever it approached any sort of hot-button issue is that, ultimately, what the characters felt about it could change at any given instant depending on what benefited them the most personally.”

“I don't think any of my classmates would say I was a class clown.”

“They didn't let us see daylight on 'Community.'”

“If you find a story that everybody likes and everybody relates to in some way, then you know you have a good story. But if you're telling a story and all the women are going, 'I'm checked out of this, I just don't really care,' then you're going to have some problems.”

“Anytime people engage in something creative or just something they are really passionate about, obviously, it's hard to separate your personal feelings from what it is you are making.”

“I would love to approach, like, what are the lives of the people that actually play 'Mythic Quest,' because you have these devs that are affecting their lives.”

“There are headlines that I remember pitching that I think I know that they're not any good. But some part of my heart is attached to them. Like I had this one that was 'Spork Used as Knife.'”

“Yeah, I started with 'The Onion,' that was my first job out of college.”

“You want to represent it accurately, and the accurate representation of quarantine is not that it's sad all the time or that people are struggling constantly, it's that there are these moments of hardship and then there are intense moments of levity and kinship and people supporting each other.”

“We need to make sure we're bringing in diverse voices and not expecting everyone to be a representation of their ethnicity or their age or their gender, but judge them individually and make sure that we're figuring out who the person is and not just checking a box.”
