More quotes by 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
When I do encounter young women or aspiring filmmakers who tell me that I've inspired them or that my work means something to them, that's amazing. That's really exciting!
Diablo Cody
I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.
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
If this whole writing thing doesn't work out, I'll be getting right back on the pole.
Diablo Cody
I feel like I'm part of a generation of people who are stuck in the past and are really self-absorbed. I mean, we're actually taking pictures of ourselves and posting them on Facebook, and keeping in touch with people that should have been out of our lives 15 years ago.
Diablo Cody
I normally ignore the History Channel.
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
I actually have two children now, and sometimes I wonder if that's it. Because they do make writing and directing more complicated and more difficult, especially now that they're very young.
Diablo Cody
I really just love to open a blank document and spew, whereas with a screenplay I have to be more judicious.
Diablo Cody
Everybody knows that I'm not a snob when it comes to pop culture, obviously. I love reality shows.
Diablo Cody
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
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 think when you take people who are damaged and you give them money and freedom, it can be a toxic cocktail.
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.
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
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
I'm a pessimist by nature. I don't think things are ever going to work out, I'm not particularly ambitious.
Diablo Cody
Bren MacGuff: Well, honey, doctors are sadists who like to play God and watch lesser people scream.
Diablo Cody
Speaking of Twitter, I don't even know if I composed a blog entry in 2009, as I was too busy parceling my every thought into cute 140-character sound bites. I used to only worry about being pithy for a living now some of my best lines are wasted on a free app!
