I feel like I'm part of a generation of people who are stuck in the past and are really self-absorbed. I mean, we're actually taking pictures of ourselves and posting them on Facebook, and keeping in touch with people that should have been out of our lives 15 years ago.

I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.

I don't think coolness used to be such a commodity among adults. And now it is.

I think I have always sort of cultivated a flowery writing style. I've always sort of over - written in every genre that I've attempted. I went to college and took a couple of writing classes and I remember my teachers were always incredibly encouraging. But it was inevitable to get the criticism: "Take it down a notch!" But the nice thing about screenwriting is that you don't really have to.

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!

Well, to aspiring writers, I would tell them that we live in a wonderful time where you're able to make your work visible, easily.

The public's appetite for frothy, flippant blondes has waned, but Paris Hilton still fascinates me.
