There's still only maybe three female writers or two female writers to 10 guys in any kind of writer's room.

If you're the 'brilliant writer' in the room, you're in the wrong writers' room.

I wasn't, like, pretty enough to be the ingenue; I wasn't 'character' enough to be the goofball sidekick. I'm kind of ethnically ambiguous.

I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I'm just so not a writer.

I was the runt of the family, the shortest and the smallest, so I think they perceived me as the one who was like, 'Look at me!' - just trying to get their attention and being a goofball.

I was in relays for track where you just bonded with all these different kinds of personalities who were coming together for this one common goal of beating a rival team.
