The primary job for women in Hollywood is still super-attractive actress. That is the most high-profile women's job in Hollywood.

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.

You definitely meet a lot of extremely powerful, successful, wealthy people in Hollywood who are extremely miserable.

I've been meaning to write about the Rolling Stones, but I am the furthest thing from a hipster rock journalist.

A lot of people are concerned with staying physically young...I'm more interested in maintaining my curiosity.

One nice thing about being a woman in Hollywood is that the women tend to be very close-knit. All of us writers and directors know each other and cling to each other for safety and support, and it's really a completely different vibe than the men experience out here, where they're all trying to murder each other.

I always say when you write a book, you're a 'one-man band.' Whereas, when you finish a screenplay, it's just a sketch.
