Losing a parent over eight years is a very dark journey. I spent the first four years feeling bad and angry and sorry for myself.

Writing is such a weird emotional thing. It's hard. If you sit down with a plan to write something, it's going to be harder.

From a very young age, I wanted to be an actor, but I lived in a very small town in Florida where there weren't any opportunities for that.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

As the mother of a grown son with a traumatic brain injury, I couldn't be more excited about the prospect of finding out how to repair even a small part of the damage that changed his life.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
