When the notion of me running the show first came up, I had to sit with myself and really think about what I could bring to the show. Star has everything that I love rolled into one. Character driven stories, social commentary, music. The show is about inclusion. I always say it’s Dreamgirlswith politics. So as soon as I saw the show I was interest...
That show is a beast. Very challenging. But in the BEST way. 24 Episodes per season. And the history of the characters runs deep. Writing on Grey’sworked so many different muscles at once, character, voice, structure, soap and procedural. The writers worked hard and Shonda has a special magic that is fun to watch. I loved it.

Honestly, I have to find ways to make them all satisfying. I call it stepping inside a script or a project. When I am writing, I know when I am not in it yet. And I love that AHA moment when all of a sudden, it’s the only thing I can think about. The thing that wakes me up at night. That’s a good feeling.
WRITE. BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING. My agent once told me, one script can change your life. And it is true. So WRITE. Because you want that one script to be fucking amazing.
I am a creature of habit, I can eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner for months… and often do. And I am a BLERD about musicals anything from Grease 2 to Hamilton.
