Hot soup at table is very vulgar; it either leads to an unseemly mode of taking it, or keeps people waiting too long whilst it cools. Soup should be brought to table only moderately warm.
It is not elegant to gnaw Indian corn. The kernels should be scored with a knife, scraped off into the plate, and then eaten with a fork. Ladies should be particularly careful how they manage so ticklish a dainty, lest the exhibition rub off a little desirable romance.
Well, you know, I don’t think anyone who writes a television series has a master plan from the beginning, and knows all the character traits, and everything that’s going to happen.

I waited tables in New York, and when you’re in that line of work, you often have a horrible boss.
Cats do not abide by the laws of nature.
I eat stickers all the time dude!

Technically, I’m a New Yorker.
I am a classical fan. I like Debussy a lot, so I was trying to learn it on the piano. I’ve learned like a third of it, but I think I’m getting to a section that may be beyond my skill level.
I’ve never written anything that wasn’t somewhat of a collaboration. I don’t know how people do it on their own.
Writing is like pulling your hair out. You have nothing, and you can’t think of anything, but you have to think of something.
Sometimes even hearing a bad idea is a great way to get to a good idea.
For the people who don’t know, my character could described, in a nutshell, as the bar dumb-dumb.
