Also, this is our lives for a huge part of the year and we did not want to be in prison, 24/7. It was too oppressive. So, we were like, “How can we get out? Let’s see their lives, a little bit.” That was really fun.

As long as there are still interesting stories and still interesting people that we want to meet, I can keep it going. But, we all have to be invested. If the room starts getting bored or I start getting restless, then we’ll either have to change something in the show or maybe end it.

But if I had my way, there would be so much more, in everything. It’s so vital and integral in life, and it should be reflected in what we’re watching, if we’re reflecting our experiences. And it’s hot. I love the sex stuff, and I want more.

But, how many times can you get exactly what you want, when you want it? Not very often. So, why not have it with entertainment? That’s what it’s fun. It’s fun!

First of all, I find everything funny, which is upsetting to my children sometimes, and to people in my life, in general.

Upset

I begged her to write a song and she said yes. I am a huge Regina Spektor fan. I think she’s a genius and just a lovely soul, and I wanted her voice on it. And she agreed, which is just the coolest thing, ever. She knocked it out of the park.

Song

Writing

I don’t set out to write female lead shows, necessarily. I like deeply flawed characters. When they come to me, or when I’m introduced to them, I follow the stories and the people, rather than setting out to do a female lead thing.

Character

Writing

I think a good story, well told is a good story, well told, whether you’re watching the episodes all in a row or not. However, it might be fun to take a closer look at how the previous episode ends and how that end relates to the beginning of the next episode.
