More quotes by Diablo Cody
Thanks a heap coyote ugly. This cactus-gram stings worse than your abandonment.
Diablo Cody
These days, the Rolling Stones still have an edge, but that fangs-out ferocity has mellowed considerably.
Diablo Cody
I grew up in the Midwest you don't know any screenwriters. It didn't seem like a realistic career possibility.
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
Everybody knows that I'm not a snob when it comes to pop culture, obviously. I love reality shows.
Diablo Cody
This is for the writers. I want to thank all the writers. I especially want to thank my fellow nominees because I worship you guys and I'm learning from you every day.
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 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.
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
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
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 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
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
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 really just love to open a blank document and spew, whereas with a screenplay I have to be more judicious.
Diablo Cody
There's something magical about spending a Sunday night watching real people at a deli, then watching fake people pretending to be real on TV, then engaging in (arguably) false interaction with (arguably) real people on the Internet. Never at any prior point in time has this been possible.
Diablo Cody
It's actually much harder to develop a TV show than I had anticipated.
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 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
I've always been a writer, I've always been a storyteller, but I never thought about screenwriting.
Diablo Cody
