Quotes
"I think teenage girls deserve a better shake in cinema. 'God knows people might say the dialogue in Juno is too stylized, but I've met so many hyperarticulate teenage girls who are not just shallow and image-obsessed."—Diablo CodyEntertainment Weekly: Diablo Cody: From Ex-Stripper to A-Lister (November 9, 2007)On being picked by Spielberg to write for The United States of Tara:
- "I've never met him in person. Isn't that awesome? It's like Charlie's Angels. So we had the call, and he said, 'Okay, go write it.' I walked outside and just went numb. E.T. is the first film I ever saw in the theater. I sank down to the curb and put my head between my knees."—Diablo CodyEntertainment Weekly: Diablo Cody: From Ex-Stripper to A-Lister (November 9, 2007)

#watched Jennifer's Body, wr Diablo Cody. Pretty good! Crowded marketplace for these movies, but good performances, shimmying the formula.

@Shawnwriter It's right, she did. @SwearyLady's also bursting with talent. Could be the next Diablo Cody if she'd just stop the stripping.
