It's interesting how we often can't see the ways in which we are being strong - like, you can't be aware of what you're doing that's tough and brave at the time that you're doing it because if you knew that it was brave, then you'd be scared.
There is something vulnerable about showing your tattoos to people, even while it gives you a feeling that you are wearing a sleeve when you are naked.
My parents were very supportive when I was growing up and have been all the way through.
Let's call a spade a spade - a lot of times when you are a vegetarian it is a just not very effective eating disorder.
I refresh Twitter as thoughtlessly as some twirl their hair.
I find it really awkward to do a scene where I'm supposed to seem like I'm in love.
My uncle's a lawyer and I remember going to see him in court and thinking, 'That's cool, too bad I could never be a lawyer.'
I'm ridiculous in my oversharing; my mom and sister are very open but a little more judicious than me... and my father is a decidedly private person.
I had no friends. I worried a lot.
Positive, healthy, loving relationships in your twenties... I don't know if anyone would disagree with it: I think they're the exception, not the norm. People are either playing house really aggressively because they're scared of what an uncertain time it is, or they're avoiding commitment altogether.
I am anti-pants.
I sort of tend to equate tattoos with prisoners, punks or people with a high level of self-confidence. I don't necessarily have a covered-in-tattoos personality.
I have an agent now.
I'm always having to be told to brush my hair.
I'm half Jewish half WASP.
I have to write people who feel honest but also push our cultural ball forward.
My weight fluctuates depending on my mood and my current devotion to my fitness routine.
It's funny, I never considered that people are going to see me on the show and maybe stop me on the subway.
All my freakouts have been pretty private and directed at family pets and/or people I have been dating for too short a time to freak out at in that way.
When I write I'm never really thinking about themes or the universal.
