I certainly didn't say while writing 'Gossip Girl,' 'Oh this is going to be big!' It was really like, 'Oh god, everyone's gong to hate these people! They're so bratty!' But I actually think what is so appealing about them is the humor in them.

I know hate is a strong word and everything, but its okay: we're teenagers.

Destiny is for losers. It's just a lame excuse for letting things happen to you instead of making them happen.

It really kind of sucked to be close to someone for so long and then suddenly not be anything anymore.

Face it, you have to be sort of an egomaniac to write something down and think that anyone is going to want to read it.

I usually wouldn't be this close to you without a tetnus shot.

'Gossip Girl' came out in rapid succession over two years, so the endings always had to be suspenseful so that you couldn't wait for the next one.
