When The Creator Of The Show Is

While I Very Much Wanted To Be In A Relationship, I Didn't Want To Be In The Wrong One.

I Didn't Grow Up Identifying With Beauty. I Grew Up Thinking I Could Be Smart And Funny - Those Are The Things I Got Feedback On.

I Feel Real Ownership In This Show. I Feel Very Invested In It. I Care Very Much About It. I Don't Feel Any More Like A Hired Hand, You Know? It's A Strange Feeling - I Feel Personally Responsible For How The Story Goes. What Happens. What The Weaknesses Are. And So In A Way, Some Of The Changes Gave Me An Opportunity To Have A Voice In A Different Way.

The Thing I Don't Like On Television Is When Somebody Does Something That Makes Absolutely No Sense Just For The Shock Of It.

If I Had A Normal Job And Had Been Moving Up, I'd Be Management Level Now.
