90210' was looking at teenagers from a perspective that hadn't really been seen on television, though it had been seen in movies like some John Hughes films. I don't know if you want to say '90210' was real, but what the characters were going through was relatable - in a very glamorous environment.

I grew up in D.C. but always had a love affair with New York. I did 'Central Park West,' 'Sex and the City,' 'Law & Order.'

As a writer, it is always fun to imagine yourself in someone else's shoes.

I think people have this sort of idea that 'Sex and the City' was this overnight sensation, and that can't be farther from the truth.

People bring camera phones into comedy shows and clubs and concerts, and sound bites never come out right.

My family and I have a little joke that if I'm feeling particularly blue, and nobody cares about me, I should just go to the airport! That is where I am most recognized.

I love to do comedy, but music is really my heart.

A lot of the stuff that I've done has been more drama and less comedy. I've had some opportunities to do some comedy, and I've often wanted to do that because it fits with me very comfortably because I talk too much, and I'm always saying the wrong thing all the time.
