“I have never had any success in planning my life, really.” — Mary Steenburgen

I've had battles with writers who live in L.A. and were writing southern characters, because they felt like if they wrote 'Sugar' and 'Honey' at the end of every sentence, that would make it southern.

Do I feel like I still need to prove myself? Absolutely. And I want to feel that way, and I like that.

I'm a very musical person.

I started in improv and went into different kinds of things.
