More quotes by Diablo Cody
I've been told that I'm incompetent, socially retarded, maladjusted. I still know that I couldn't function in reality. Los Angeles is a good place for me.
Diablo Cody
When you're trying to come up with an idea for a movie it's actually the hardest part - the germ of the idea. Inevitably you think of something that would be great and then discover that it was on an episode of The Simpsons.
Diablo Cody
People don't have these tidy little redemption arcs in reality the way they do in movies.
Diablo Cody
The public's appetite for frothy, flippant blondes has waned, but Paris Hilton still fascinates me.
Diablo Cody
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 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.

The attitude toward women in this industry is nauseating. There are all sorts of porcine executives who are uncomfortable with a woman doing anything subversive. They want the movie about the beautiful girl who trips and falls, the adorable klutz.

Thanks a heap coyote ugly. This cactus-gram stings worse than your abandonment.
Diablo Cody
He wasn’t a carrier of commitment-phobia or other notable boy diseases and he used expensive moisturizer. That’s about all it takes to bang my gong.

Diablo Cody
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.
Diablo Cody
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.
Diablo Cody
Somebody asked me earlier if I thought it was really important to tell stories about women's struggles. And I said yes, but at the same time, it's also important to tell stories about women's triumphs, women being slackers, women being criminals, women being heroes.
Diablo Cody
Juno MacGuff: You can never have too many of your favorite one calorie breath mints.
Diablo Cody
Los Angeles is often described as the nadir of vapidity, a smog-choked space cradle.
Diablo Cody
If this whole writing thing doesn't work out, I'll be getting right back on the pole.
Diablo Cody
For me, writing essays, prose and fiction is a great way to be self-indulgent.
Diablo Cody
I know white clothing is supposed to enhance that summer glow, but writers don't tan.
Diablo Cody
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.
Diablo Cody
