Q&A

Q. FAVORITE JOB

A. I love being a TV producer - it's creative, strategic, challenging, exciting and every day is different!

Q. HIGH SCHOOL AND/OR COLLEGE

A. Friends Academy School in Locust Valley, New York and Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

Q. FAVORITE MOVIE

A. "Favorite" is always tough for me - I rarely have one absolute favorite of anything! In the past few years, I just adored the movie "The Intouchables." It's a charming, touching, funny, clever and beautiful French movie that will have you laughing, crying, wishing for more. I sound like an advertisement, but could watch this flick over and over.

Q. DO YOU HAVE ONE SENTENCE OF ADVICE FOR NEW WRITERS?

A. You can plan and think and prepare and dream, but if you want to be a writer, you have to write!
