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!

I have a lot of screenwriter friends and many of them have had an experience where they aren't even welcome on set during production.

I spent a lot of time staring at the clock in school, so I have that kind of personality.

Put your blog out into the world and hope that your talent will speak for itself.

In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.

I really just love to open a blank document and spew, whereas with a screenplay I have to be more judicious.
