What I write is very personal, but not autobiographical. It's more 'thematically personal' - what's up in my life in terms of themes at the moment.
The only reason you would hate to be compared to 'Fleabag' is if you were said to be 'not as good as Fleabag'.
The real love story of 'Fleabag' is the sisters. That's the true heart of the piece.
I wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.
Everything that I do is very autobiographical. I'm trying to be as much of an open book as possible and give the audience every single piece of me.
I love the idea of engaging the object, whether it be architecture or a piece of good graphic design, or a good painting, or piece of sculpture, or even a piece of industrial manufactured object. A piece of engineering can be quite beautiful, too, or a photomicrograph, or a cosmic photograph. We're physical beings and why deny that. So in that sense, it's very sensual to have an object that has the power to communicate some emotion or a state or give you some sense.
The main relationship in the whole series was the one between the camera and Fleabag. I had to convince myself that whoever was watching on the other side of the camera was instantly complicit with Fleabag and instantly a friend of hers.

The most deeply personal of my works are the non-fiction works, the autobiographical works, because there, I'm talking about myself very directly.
I wanted to write a semi-autobiographical piece that was uplifting and heart-warming.
I think novels are profoundly autobiographical. If writers deny that, they are lying. Or if it's really true, then I think it's a mistake.
After the play of 'Fleabag,' we had conversations with different channels and with film companies about whether 'Fleabag' should be a half-hour sitcom, an hourlong, serialized drama, or a film. And I knew that it couldn't be a drama because I wanted to hide the drama - that had to be the surprise. I knew it had to be comedy.
The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.
