Nora Ephron's 'When Harry Met Sally' is a classic.

'When Harry Met Sally' will endure. It will be the standard rom-com that others will improvise on for years to come.

I was the assistant to the editor-in-chief of 'Esquire Magazine.' And my experience as an assistant was really best case scenario. My boss was absolutely the greatest boss I could have asked for. But I think there's something universal about being an assistant, regardless of whether or not your boss is the greatest or a complete terror.

One of my favorite things is to first read a novel and then see the movie. I enjoy picturing the characters and then later, seeing them on the screen, comparing how they're different.

I loved those movies from the eighties, movies like 'Working Girl,' 'Nine to Five,' 'Outrageous Fortune,' 'The Heat,' 'Bridesmaids,' 'Pitch Perfect,' and others.

I think the skyrocketing cost of a college education has placed it in the sphere of being a luxury-priced necessity.

I wrote 'The Assistants' while I was the Assistant to the Editor-in-Chief of 'Esquire.'

I've always been a big fan of political and social satire.

You can get away with making some extremely bold statements by Trojan Horsing them into a narrative via comedy.

I'm not sure if it's easier to address tough themes through humor, but I do think it's more fun and makes such themes easier to digest for the reader.
