I guess initially I was amazed that somebody would see something within my work that they could really relate to, but the more it's happened, the more people have come forward, I've really realized that we're all kind of going through the same thing at the same time.

I like to make people think differently than they did before I walked in the room.

Particularly with live TV, I have a really good time reacting in the moment to things that are going on around me. I try to think of the viewers' perspective too.

My mother always taught me to think about things from other people's perspectives and think about where they're coming from.

I think the way we react to things is a big indicator of our character and what type of person we are.

There is something about the ability to externalize our thoughts and compare them with other people in a public way that is really transformative for the average person.

I'm very much an observer and a conduit of thoughts and ideas.

Over time, it's occurred to me that my protagonists all originate in some aspect of myself that I find myself questioning or feeling uncomfortable about.

I think it's a very firm part of human nature that if you surround yourself with like-minded people, you'll end up thinking more extreme versions of what you thought before.

I guess I'm just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.
