Nothing abstract about that. You know you went too far when you hear that groan or worse - that silence instead of the big laugh you were expecting following your hilariously edgy joke.
Tags: Big, Laugh, SilenceBeing a comedy writer gives you permission to be an outsider and poke fun at what people think about other people.

Tags: Born, Character, StereotypeI love writing for women. The willingness to go from laughter to tears in a moment is the greatest palette you can paint with as a writer.
Tags: Laughter, Love, WomenIt seems a lot of straight men need a word coach or a lawyer when it comes to discussing 'Sex and the City.'
Tags: Men, Sex, WordLet there be no mistake. A gay man alone could never begin to replicate the inner workings of the female mind.
Tags: Alone, Gay, MindPeople pull away from something if it's not of good taste. People lean into something if it's okay.
Tags: Away, Good, Taste'Sex and the City' is about outsiders. Single girls as lepers, should have been married by now. It's the reason the whole thing took off.
Tags: Reason, Sex, SingleThe first-time director thing is just another label somebody puts on you.
Tags: Another, Director, SomebodyHere's what happens - you create something in the moment that you feel will be good, and then... people's reactions to it or people referencing it years later, it's a compliment.
Tags: Good, Here, MomentI really enjoy women and I totally understand and applaud the diversity that they have in terms of their emotions and intellects and vulnerability and strengths.
Tags: Enjoy, Understand, WomenI think I would love a shot at remaking 'The Philadelphia Story,' as daunting as it is. I still think it's fantastic. I love the '30s comedies because they're allowed to be both comic and elegant, and the women are so complicated in them.
Tags: Love, Story, WomenI try not to repeat a story. I try not to repeat an emotion. I want it to be all sort of new for the viewers and to challenge myself as a writer, so there's always pressure. What else can you come up with?
Tags: Challenge, Else, TryIf I talk to a woman for more than five minutes I can tell you exactly whether she's an Aidan girl or a Mr. Big girl. Aidan girls are more interested in nurturing relationships and building a nest while Mr. Big girls are more about show and having fun.
Tags: Fun, Girl, WomanMy female writers have always been my backbone. I had a writing room of six women for five years so I know what women do. Cultivated by me, by the way!
Tags: Room, Women, WritingMy mom would be leaving the house and she'd say, 'Don't you pull out all of the old dresses in the attic and put on a show again!' And the door would close, and that's exactly what I'd do. The show was calling me!
Tags: Leaving, Mom, OldOnly two things change when you get older: the energy in your voice and the time of night you feel it's appropriate to call someone. In your 20s, people call at 2 a.m. and yell, 'Are you up?' into the answering machine. Now, someone calls after 8 p.m., and my boyfriend is like, 'Who is that? Who could be calling at this hour?'
