I really, really like interior design. I grew up in a really old house outside of Philly that was built in 1821. My mom is really into antiques, and my dad is very mid-century. They're not together anymore, so in the middle of growing up, I, all of the sudden, had two houses that were very different but really well done in each of their own ways. ”

I love comedy, but I was just obsessed with 'SNL' growing up. ”

Female-driven shows have to be every single thing and are constantly criticized in a way that male-driven shows are not. ”

Why does 'writer' have no gender, but 'actor' has a gender? What is that? ”

I had this job where I had to cold call people, and that was terrifying to me, and that was on a far different level than invading their space. ”

I really admire people that do more than one thing. That's sort of the goal, right - to be an artist that can work in any medium. That's what I hope for my career. ”

Museums are interesting. This place where we're almost buying admission to take a break from our lives. ”

Sometimes the art world can be a scary place, and you feel like you should know more than you do, but it's okay to not know everything! ”

Art school can be a wonderful place if you're trying to find your voice and your style and your taste. ”

When I lived in Baltimore, I would come down fairly often to go to the Hirshhorn, and one of my good friends from high school went to Georgetown. I actually ended up going to Annapolis a lot. I had a car, and it was such a serene place to drive. ”
