I'm glad that as a 33-year-old working mother, I can still choose to wear a Hello Kitty T-shirt or stay up late scrolling through the Twitter feed of my junior-high crush.

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.

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.

There's probably no experience more alienating than fame, other than a terminal illness, where you actually find yourself in a situation that nobody around you can relate to.

I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.

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.

Thanks a heap coyote ugly. This cactus-gram stings worse than your abandonment.

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.

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.

You definitely meet a lot of extremely powerful, successful, wealthy people in Hollywood who are extremely miserable.

I've been so lucky - I worked with Jason Reitman twice, who has always been a really strong advocate for my voice, and has always really respected the scripts that I've brought him and is just the coolest.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I grew up in the Midwest you don't know any screenwriters. It didn't seem like a realistic career possibility.

I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide.

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.
