I know most people don't like to be around teenagers but I do. I'm one of the only people I can think of who can't wait for my kid to be a teenager. I think being a teenager is one of the most wonderful things in the world. I really enjoyed it - just this heightened emotional state where everything is beautiful and everything is new and you're convinced that you're really going to break the mould and be different from your parents. And the best part is that you have so much more time that you didn't have as a child.

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.

I don't have a terrible singing voice, but I also wouldn't call it 'good.' I can carry a tune.

I've come to find more satisfaction and enjoyment in writing screenplays over the years because that's what I do primarily now.

I'm not an especially highbrow person, but I have always loved small, quirky, edgy movies.

Ah, reality TV: where opportunists delight in exposing opportunism! It's kind of like the indie music scene.

The fact is, when I wrote 'Juno' - and I think this is part of its charm and appeal - I didn't know how to write a movie. And I also had no idea it was going to get made!
