I live in New York. I am a comedian, writer and actor. My day job is blogging for VH1.com. I write about the silly things celebrities and pop stars do, so you know...God's work.

You may have seen my writing on many other reputable websites (The Huffington Post, Hello Giggles, xojane.com, The Hairpin, Splitsider, The FW, etc.). I also write crazy blogs about Game of Thrones, Magneto and Jeff Goldblum.

I don't want to talk about anything with you except Star Trek Into Darkness.

 

If the world isn’t going to hand you your every wish and desire, she seems to want to say, just write it yourself. If they wanted to become actors, says Fey, “I’d try and spare them from the life of an actor, where you only get work if someone picks you. You want to be someone who makes your own stuff. If you make your own thing, you can be doing it at a community theater or on Broadway. No one can really stop you. It’s a better, more cool life.

Tina Fey in the LA Times

This has sort of been my mantra in the past ten years. It’s also why I’m a little bit sad when I see young women who just want to be actors or models or singers*. Write! Design! Compose! Don’t wait for someone to tell you who or what or how to be! BLAH!

*I mean like, they just want someone to make them famous. They aren’t touring, working actors like Ellen or classically trained opera singers like Lisa.
