I've been so lucky - I worked with Jason Reitman twice, who has always been a really strong advocate for my voice, and has always really respected the scripts that I've brought him and is just the coolest.

I had written the script for Juno and apparently Steven Spielberg had read it. I can't just call him Steven, that's weird... Mr. Spielberg had read it and he liked it. He asked me if I would write this television show for him and I said, 'Yeah!'

I just want to be able to keep my house and pay for my son's school tuition in Los Angeles.

There's this double standard that exists and it really frustrates me. If a woman chooses to work, people say, "Oh it's so sad that you're not at home with your children." But no one ever says that to a man because it's assumed that the man is going to be the provider.

People are more interested in being visible than they are in loving other people.

Juno: WOOOAH! ....Dreeeaaam BIG!

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.
