Diablo Cody Quotes

I know white clothing is supposed to enhance that summer glow, but writers don’t tan Picture Quote #1

People have always wanted to be recognized, and that’s human nature. But people used to want to be recognized for their accomplishments, and now they simply want to be visible Picture Quote #1

People don’t have these tidy little redemption arcs in reality the way they do in movies Picture Quote #1

It’s possible that I’ve matured as a writer, and I hope I’ve matured emotionally, but I always find myself revisiting these adolescent scenes Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter if they’re in front of the camera or behind the camera. I know women who are producers who are surviving on nothing but juice and almonds Picture Quote #1

I’m not an especially highbrow person, but I have always loved small, quirky, edgy movies Picture Quote #1

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been a sucker for roller coasters in movies Picture Quote #1

I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did Picture Quote #1

I think when you take people who are damaged and you give them money and freedom, it can be a toxic cocktail Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There's a weird cloud around you when you're recognizable. It was a brief window for me. I think you have to have a pathological need for attention of any type, negative or positive, to thrive in that kind of situation. And I only want compliments Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That’s the kind of person that’s worth sticking with Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

And I think I’m an adrenaline junkie, and there’s nothing that will spike your adrenaline more than sitting in a theater and listen to an audience react to something you’ve written Picture Quote #1

A lot of people are concerned with staying physically young... I’m more interested in maintaining my curiosity Picture Quote #1

Here’s my unsolicited advice to any aspiring screenwriters who might be reading this: Don’t ever agonize about the hordes of other writers who are ostensibly your competition. No one else is capable of doing what you do Picture Quote #1

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. I’m learning from you every day Picture Quote #1

Stripping toughened my hide, but exposing myself as a writer has been a lot more brutal Picture Quote #1

I can’t write at night. For me, I’m programmed to believe that nighttime is for relaxation Picture Quote #1

Ah, reality TV: where opportunists delight in exposing opportunism! It’s kind of like the indie music scene Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

That’s also why comedy and horror are my two favorite genres of film to write, because you get these outbursts of emotion from people, laughter and shock, and it’s really thrilling, and I like to be thrilled Picture Quote #1

Well, to aspiring writers, I would tell them that we live in a wonderful time where you’re able to make your work visible, easily Picture Quote #1

I’ve come to find more satisfaction and enjoyment in writing screenplays over the years because that’s what I do primarily now Picture Quote #1
