After leaving ImageMovers, I sold two pitches to Fox Atomic, which I then wrote for them.

Losing a parent over eight years is a very dark journey. I spent the first four years feeling bad and angry and sorry for myself.

I went to film school, so I certainly know how to make things quickly and cheaply. But at the same time, I have the experience of working with Steve Starkey for three years. I watched him produce some gigantic movies.

When you have a writing partner and you're writing a comedy, your goal is to make each other laugh.

I love comedy, and I think that's sort of what comes naturally to me.

It was really exciting to see how 'Bridesmaids' was accepted and how well it did.

Writing is such a weird emotional thing. It's hard. If you sit down with a plan to write something, it's going to be harder.

I'm definitely one of those people who think that everything you do leads up to the moment where you are now.

From a very young age, I wanted to be an actor, but I lived in a very small town in Florida where there weren't any opportunities for that.

I'm feeling pretty fortunate. I've been having lots of lovely auditions and meetings, so I'm savoring the moment.
