Writer and actor Julie Klausner's not afraid to speak her mind on Twitter, or now, on her Hulu series Difficult People. She tells us how she went from a job recapping Real Housewives episodes to writing and starring in her own show. She also shares memories of working with the inimitable Joan Rivers and how her approach to social media has changed now that she has a much larger audience.
