"I obviously love Lizzie so much. We're connected and tethered at the soul for life. It just wasn't right until now. I wasn't excited or moved with any of the ideas I heard, or I wasn't coming up with any ideas myself to pitch. I didn't just want to come back because everybody loved her from a moment in time that stuck with them for a lifetime."
"Being in my 30s, it felt like a good time to revisit her. It's a complicated stage. That's what people loved about Lizzie so much — that phase of becoming a teenager. It's such a complicated but fun part of time to navigate. She was everyone's best friend. She was faced with every challenge that was relatable. Now, I think stepping into the role as a 30-year-old trying to navigate life is equally interesting. Or more specifically, waking up on your 30th birthday and thinking, This isn't how I planned this to look, what do I do now? That's an interesting story to me, and that's a good journey I want to go on with everyone again who was there for her preteen years."
"[Lizzie] is such a big part of me and my life, and now she's 30, and I feel like I'm going to have to learn some of her quirky faces again. But I'm excited!"
