I think Jersey stands alone and because I'm from Jersey I never make fun of where people are from. I'll make fun of what they look like but I'll never make fun of where they are from. Jersey is special.
My dad's gay experiences really had a very positive influence on me and my straight relationships - how to better accept all the weirdness and ambiguity and ups and downs and paradoxes. I knew from the beginning I was writing about love.
