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

More quotes by Diablo Cody
He is the cheese to my macaroni.
Diablo Cody
I've been an avid consumer of young adult literature since I was one, and I think some people leave that stuff behind when they become old adults, but I never did. I was always interested in the fantasy world created in those novels.
Diablo Cody
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.
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.
Diablo Cody
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.
Diablo Cody
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.
Diablo Cody
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.
Diablo Cody
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.
Diablo Cody
When you're in a competitive environment, always give out the impression that you don't care. It makes people want you more. If you act desperate, it's over. I think a passive attitude is helpful. It comes naturally because I'm lazy.
Diablo Cody
I have never been an ambitious person, and my participation in this industry is a fluke, but only male writers can afford to be coy and self-deprecating.
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
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
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.
Diablo Cody
If I want to get a taste of beach culture, I'll fire up my season 2 DVD of 'Beverly Hills, 90210.'
Diablo Cody
Tabloid photos capture people at their most self-conscious and disoriented in real life, Paris Hilton is like an elegant paper crane.
Diablo Cody
I have a huge repertoire. I love karaoke.
Diablo Cody
If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire best director category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.
Diablo Cody
I spent a lot of time staring at the clock in school, so I have that kind of personality.
Diablo Cody
Hollywood is a perpetual summerland, a temperate, godless yaw where the very word 'season' has been co-opted by television executives. There are few harbingers of winter here.
Diablo Cody
I try to avoid Twitter. I occasionally can't resist the siren call of email.
