More quotes by Diablo Cody
I just want to be able to keep my house and pay for my son's school tuition in Los Angeles.
Diablo Cody
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.
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
Shoulda gone to China. They give away babies like free iPods. They put them in guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
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 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.

I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide.
Diablo Cody
I spent a lot of time staring at the clock in school, so I have that kind of personality.
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
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.
Diablo Cody
He is the cheese to my macaroni.

Juno MacGuff: Wise move. I know this girl who had a huge crazy freakout because she took too many behavioral meds at once. She took off all her clothes and jumped into the fountain at Ridgedale Mall and she was like, Blaaaaah! I'm a kraken from the sea! Su-Chin: That was you.
Diablo Cody
Ah, reality TV: where opportunists delight in exposing opportunism! It's kind of like the indie music scene.
Diablo Cody
There's something about a roller coaster that triggers strong feelings, maybe because most of us associate them with childhood. They're inherently cinematic the very shape of a coaster, all hills and valleys and sickening helices, evokes a human emotional response.
Diablo Cody
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.
Diablo Cody
I've always been a writer, I've always been a storyteller, but I never thought about screenwriting.
Diablo Cody
I try to avoid Twitter. I occasionally can't resist the siren call of email.
Diablo Cody
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.
Diablo Cody
Put your blog out into the world and hope that your talent will speak for itself.
Diablo Cody
You make a first impression and people never forget it. If people want to think of me as the wacky 'Juno' lady forever, I could think of worse ways to be labeled.
