Ah, reality TV: where opportunists delight in exposing opportunism! It's kind of like the indie music scene.

I didn't even know how to talk to people, I didn't know how to talk to the press. I was just a jester. And I still feel that way. But, I mean, what haven't I learned? Everything that I know is new information because I was starting with nothing.

I want Maggie Gyllenhaal. I don't know why. I don't think she necessarily looks like me or acts like me, I just think she's a cool actress and she could play me, so there you go.

If I want to get a taste of beach culture, I'll fire up my season 2 DVD of 'Beverly Hills, 90210.'

Tabloid photos capture people at their most self-conscious and disoriented in real life, Paris Hilton is like an elegant paper crane.

There's this double standard that exists and it really frustrates me. If a woman chooses to work, people say, Oh it's so sad that you're not at home with your children. But no one ever says that to a man because it's assumed that the man is going to be the provider.

I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide.

Above the stage was a glass-floored second stage, which allowed customers to look up and watch another girl dancing overhead. This multidimensional display of poontang reminded me of the 3-D chessboard on Star Trek, which in turn reminded me that I was a huge nerd.

You know, it shouldn't just be about women as heroic figures overcoming things, it just needs to be about women in general getting the opportunity to play a multitude of roles, telling a multitude of stories - just to express human experience from a woman's perspective. I hope, someday, we can get to that point. I'm all about representation.

I always say when you write a book, you're a 'one-man band.' Whereas, when you finish a screenplay, it's just a sketch.

I don't know if I have some kind of defiance disorder or something, but if I'm hired to write something by The Man, or by a studio, for whatever reason, it's really hard for me to finish. I inevitably wind up using that time to write something else.

Fact: The new '90210' is cooler than the old '90210.' It's the lithe, streamlined Skipper to the elder series' venerable Barbie. Gone are the traditional parents - they've been replaced by a hipster mom n' pop who get busted necking in the car.

I spent a lot of time staring at the clock in school, so I have that kind of personality.

Now '90210' is returning with an all-new cast of slightly more plausible teens. I'll be honest: I wish the old cast was back. Ideally, this spin-off would be an Ice Storm-esque exploration of the West Beverly gang's bleak adult lives.

To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose.

I usually try not to think about actors while writing, because the odds of those stars aligning and you getting those specific people are so rare.

People don't have these tidy little redemption arcs in reality the way they do in movies.

I've been so lucky - I worked with Jason Reitman twice, who has always been a really strong advocate for my voice, and has always really respected the scripts that I've brought him and is just the coolest.

It doesn't matter if they're in front of the camera or behind the camera. I know women who are producers who are surviving on nothing but juice and almonds.

Personally, I consider 'Titanic' the most brilliant example of successful counterprogramming the film actually countered itself by embedding an epic chick flick within a classic disaster movie.

A lot of people are concerned with staying physically young...I'm more interested in maintaining my curiosity.
