More quotes by 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
You definitely meet a lot of extremely powerful, successful, wealthy people in Hollywood who are extremely miserable.
Diablo Cody
I spent a lot of time staring at the clock in school, so I have that kind of personality.
Diablo Cody
I wrote a screenplay for a 'Sweet Valley High' adaptation, and it's really amazing to me how many women who are my age have responded to the idea and are excited about the movie.
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 can't write at night. For me, I'm programmed to believe that nighttime is for relaxation.
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
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.

Juno: Honest to blog?
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
In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.
Diablo Cody
Put your blog out into the world and hope that your talent will speak for itself.
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've been meaning to write about the Rolling Stones, but I am the furthest thing from a hipster rock journalist.
Diablo Cody
To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose.
Diablo Cody
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.
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.

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
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.
