Any time I try to write a funny line, I’m hamstrung because the funniest line ever has already been written: β€œwe’ve gone on holiday by mistake”. It’s not a joke, it’s a character reacting to a terrible situation, and it just makes me weak with laughter. Golden rule: funny for us, NOT for them…

Without Debra’s support, encouragement and guidance, I wouldn’t have become a producer. #DebraHill was one of my heroines, and I was blessed to have her as my mentor. I miss her so much.

Hoping Nathan Fillion’s next video is him stopping and checking his list, crossing off Joss’ name, and going to the next address

Just come across the β€œAlpine Divorce” tag, and now I genuinely think we need to shut down all men until we can figure out what’s going on with us

Nope! When I start a script I finish it, because by that stage I’ve done enough planning to know it’s ready. Do I have a ton of half-baked ideas that don’t go anywhere?? Hell yes

TV remote suddenly started rewinding when I pressed fast forward. Kept doing it. Tried pressing rewind- and THEN it started to fast forward. No idea why. Several minutes later I realised I was holding it the wrong way around.
