When I was growing up, I didn't like cheese. I had to wean myself onto cheese.

I didn't know I was poor, growing up, because everyone was in the same boat. I couldn't have bikes. It never really bothered me, but I could have any book. I loved school; I loved learning. Yeah, I never cared for possessions. I still don't, really.

Pol Pot - he rounded up anybody he thought was intellectual and had them executed. And how he told someone was intellectual or not was whether they wore glasses. If they're that clever, take them off when they see him coming!

There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.

I really looked up to Tina Fey as a writer, and because I did have a background in writing, she is someone whose career I really did admire.

I was never really a career woman. My life always came first.

I was told MTV VJs have no career after MTV, and I'm like, that's never going to be me. I was always about not feeding into the negativity and proving to people that I can do more than one thing.

I had a 20-year career. I have two children. The advantage of writing later in my life is that I already had a whole mature realm of accomplishments and responsibilities, an identity outside of being a writer.
