When you watch the sitcoms that were the big hits when I was growing up, TV was still just TV. It was allowed to just be TV. There were three channels that were competing for the whole family and you couldn't take your business elsewhere.

Emotionally, shows like 'Cheers' and 'Taxi' were classic sitcoms when I was growing up.

I feel like I am a good person and a professional, very able leader of men.

There's the same percentage of genius happening in both genders, but there's less women writing scripts and out there looking for the job.

I always wanted to do a comedy, but I wanted to pick the right one. But it came down to working with Steve Carell. I've wanted to work with him since I met him years ago as a kid.

I think comedy is something I enjoy, so it comes effortlessly.

It never seems to occur to some people, that, like beauty, a sense of humor may sometimes be fatal.

I think empathy is undervalued in a lot of these comedy writers' rooms.
