More quotes by Diablo Cody
I've always been a writer, I've always been a storyteller, but I never thought about screenwriting.
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
When I was a kid, I attended a small Catholic school in a south suburb of Chicago.
Diablo Cody
Above the stage was a glass-floored second stage, which allowed customers to look up and watch another girl dancing overhead. This multidimensional display of poontang reminded me of the 3-D chessboard on Star Trek, which in turn reminded me that I was a huge nerd.
Diablo Cody
People don't have these tidy little redemption arcs in reality the way they do in movies.
Diablo Cody
It's actually much harder to develop a TV show than I had anticipated.
Diablo Cody
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.

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

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
Judy Blume excels at describing how it feels to be invisible. So how poetic is it that Blume herself is suddenly everywhere?
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.
Diablo Cody
I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.
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'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.
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
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!
