darker home
Yeah, at home it's all moonbeams and puppy-dog tails, so I guess I do have a darker side - and I like writing about it.
nice dark thinking
I think I have a pattern of nice and lovely and then dark and twisted.
queens writing ideas
I knew I wanted to work with Brad [Falchuk] and Ian [Brennan] again on something comedic, and we are having a blast writing SCREAM QUEENS. We hope to create a whole new genre - comedy-horror - and the idea is for every season to revolve around two female leads.
acceptance thinking people
I've gotten death threats, yes. I have. I think anytime you shine a spotlight on homosexuality or minorities and you try and say they are as normal or as worthy as acceptance as others, the people who are on the fringe don't like that and they will come after you. And they have come after me.
writing years glee
Even though 'Glee' is sometimes a hard road, I am very excited about writing a multi-year arc.
school parent too-much
I had been accepted to film school, but my parents couldn't afford it, and yet they made too much money for me to get a scholarship.
sheets
I love crispy, cool sheets.
three stories young
I started off as a journalist when I was young and I did not get paid unless I wrote three stories a day.
Originally, 'Popular' was going to be a movie.
tone tvs
Tone is everything in TV.
new-york growing-up kids
Well, I'm from Indiana. So to me when I was a little kid growing up, Cincinnati was the glamorous New York of it all.
growing-up stuff my-favorite
When I was growing up my favorite show was 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show', and I loved all the stuff that Norman Lear did.
