“את לא צריכה להיות לבד כדי להרגיש לבד.”
“בגלל הבינה המלאכותית, יש עכשיו עניין בקול האחר הזה שעומד שמן הסתם יהיה יותר חכם וזריז מכולנו – ועם זאת אנחנו רוצים לשמוע אותו. כולם מפחדים ממנו, ואף על פי כן הולכים ל־ChatGPT ועורכים ניסויים. יש מתח בין הרצון להתפתח ולעבור לשלב הבא, לבין החשש והרצון לחזור לאחור ולהרגיש ביטחון.”
“אני לא יכולה לכתוב משהו שלדעתי אין במרכזו אלמנט עמוק יותר של כנות, והמהות הזו ככותבת באה איתי לאן שלא אלך.”
“If you go into the mainstream with a female perspective that seems to resonate with a lot of people, you have a political agenda imposed on you: you are told that you are a feminist.”
“The element of surprise is the most important thing and what keeps me interested in writing. I can feel it if I've written that predictable or boring line, and I will carry that around with me all day.”
“I think, a lot of time, I'm just writing my worst fears, of the idea of losing my mom or my best friend or doing something so terrible to somebody that's kind of deemed unforgivable or having a really broken family.”
“I'll never get bored of seeing flawed women on the screen.”
“I think audiences can feel when they're being served a filler episode.”
“As women, we get the message about how to be a good girl - how to be a good, pretty girl - from such an early age. Then, at the same time, we're told that well-behaved girls won't change the world or ever make a splash.”
“You're allowed to bore your friends and family, but to bore your audience is unforgivable.”
“The #MeToo and Time's Up movements have been a roar on behalf of women, and the voices are genuinely empowered now. I really feel that.”
“I think it's important that culture is this ongoing thing that needs to be nurtured, because there is no such thing as a quick, arty fix.”
“I just kind of like to feel myself into stuff by writing scenes and seeing what characters end up saying.”
“Nothing brings me more joy than when people love what I do.”
“I just find all that stuff incredibly funny. I love a fart. I'd do anything for a good poo story.”
“People generally are just really nice to each other. You know, the good people.”
“Our family dinner table was my first platform - every dinner was all about sharing stories and jokes and points of view.”
“Sausages are just funny. I don't know why. I can't explain it.”
“I had such a supportive family, and I think that affects your life in such a profound way; it fortifies you completely.”
“I remember being a teenager and saying, 'Oh, I want to be an actress when I grow up.' And people saying, 'You need to be a good liar - are you a good liar?'”
