“I'm a huge Ira Glass fan; I'm a huge fan of radio in general.” — Jenji Kohan Quote

I'm a huge Ira Glass fan; I'm a huge fan of radio in general.

A TV touchstone for me is 'The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd.' That series was whimsical and smart and had the mix of comedy and drama that I now trade in - but with a dash of magical realism. I wanted to be Molly Dodd, but more than that, I wanted to be Jay Tarses, who created the show.

Mainly, I'm doing my thing, and I hope people like it. I don't say, 'I'm going to write something radical and hope it reverberates throughout society.' The goal is to write a solid, entertaining, engaging show.

I'm not a public figure; I shouldn't have to be held to a certain standard of beauty.

I want my prose to be as clear as a pane of glass.

It took me months and months to get back to normalcy - to have a glass of wine at dinner, to go out to a movie with my wife. Just those normal things that you take for granted I wasn't able to do for a long time.

I enjoy a glass of wine, and I love my football. I suppose it's because I'm a real working-class.

Go outside! I mean, even leaves from a park are beautiful in a clear glass vase. I'd rather see that than fake anything any day.

I drink a glass of water and half a lemon as soon as I wake up. I heard that it's supposed to balance your body's pH. Not sure if that's true, but to be honest, it really helps with bloating.
