I really just love to open a blank document and spew, whereas with a screenplay I have to be more judicious.

I've always been a writer, I've always been a storyteller, but I never thought about screenwriting.

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

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.

I grew up in the Midwest you don't know any screenwriters. It didn't seem like a realistic career possibility.

I've been meaning to write about the Rolling Stones, but I am the furthest thing from a hipster rock journalist.

I know white clothing is supposed to enhance that summer glow, but writers don't tan.

Even though I am in this weird position of being a semi-recognizable screenwriter, which isn't that common, at the same time, I'm not an actress. I'm pretty isolated.

I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.

Shoulda gone to China. They give away babies like free iPods. They put them in guns and shoot them out at sporting events.

I had gone to the bookstore, and while I hadn't bought any books on how to write a screenplay, I'd bought a couple of scripts so I could see how the formatting works. I just needed to know how a Hollywood screenplay looked on the page, which was something I was totally unfamiliar with.

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 Gone are the traditional parents - they've been replaced by a hipster mom n' pop who get busted necking in the car.

For me, writing essays, prose and fiction is a great way to be self-indulgent.

I'm one of the people that were divorced by 30, which is apparently a growing group... Obviously it's something that affects you forever. It's going to be interesting to see in ten, twenty years what kind of lasting effect young divorce has on the people that are doing it because it's becoming more and more common.

I think I might be one of the only people in America, or at least the only person I know, who saw both 'The Dark Knight' and 'Mamma Mia!' on their shared opening weekend.

I'm a pessimist by nature. I don't think things are ever going to work out, I'm not particularly ambitious.

I have a lot of screenwriter friends and many of them have had an experience where they aren't even welcome on set during production.

Unfortunately I don't live by a Target now, so I just go to a regular Starbucks as opposed to a Starbucks nested inside a Target, which is my ideal situation. That works out for me. I like that white noise, those interruptions, and the people around me.

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.
