You know, I always think of myself as sort of ready for every criticism.
I mean, I - it's so funny, I am, you know, I am, you know, a working woman out in the world, but I still live with my parents half the time. I've been sort of taking this very long, stuttering period of moving out.
You know, bad poetry I wrote in high school can still be found on the Internet, and, you know, there's a Web log of our college newspaper. You know, there's so many different stages of my creative development are sort of on-record if somebody were to choose to look for them.
None of my actions have ever sort of been motored by the search for a husband or wondering if I was going to have a family someday or wanting to live in a really great house or thinking it would be really great to have a diamond.
I feel like a lot of the female relationships I see on TV or in movies are in some way free of the kind of jealousy and anxiety and posturing that has been such a huge part of my female friendships, which I hope lessens a little bit with age.
It's almost like when you're young, your friends take on the romance role, and then guys take on the role of your friends later.
I do think girls in their twenties accept certain kinds of lesser treatment than they would at other times in their lives.
I sometimes want to make a book of every tattoo I wanted to get before I actually got a tattoo, because there were so many awful ideas and concepts.
No one wants to see a tattoo on a stomach.
It's interesting to see how other people react to an oversharer.
I'm not great at dating, but I need to do it to relax.
I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.
I thought I was really a radical, political person, which of course I am not.
There's people who don't want to see bodies like mine or bodies like their own bodies.
You know, when I first started making online videos, there were a lot of filmmakers I befriended who were doing it too.
I think that people in the phase between being someone's kid and being someone's parent have always been uniquely narcissistic, but that social media and Twitter and LiveJournal make it really easy to navel-gaze in a way that you've never been able to before.
The parts I enjoy playing aren't really available to me. So I have to write them.
I would go to work from 9 to 6, go home, nap for two hours, then write from 8 to 2 a.m.
I didn't have to wait six years to get my show on the air, worry that someone else had a similar idea, or wait around for notes that took my voice out of the show.
At my age, no one is married, no one has kids, no one has a career.
