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.

More quotes by 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
I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.
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.
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 have a huge repertoire. I love karaoke.
Diablo Cody
Los Angeles is often described as the nadir of vapidity, a smog-choked space cradle.
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
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 think when you take people who are damaged and you give them money and freedom, it can be a toxic cocktail.
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 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.
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
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
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
You definitely meet a lot of extremely powerful, successful, wealthy people in Hollywood who are extremely miserable.
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
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.
Diablo Cody
Everybody knows that I'm not a snob when it comes to pop culture, obviously. I love reality shows.
Diablo Cody
It's actually much harder to develop a TV show than I had anticipated.
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!
