The fashion industry isn't merely content to encase my meaty flanks in skintight denim. Oh, no!

But the nice thing about screenwriting is that you don't really have to. — Diablo Cody

I don't know if I have some kind of defiance disorder or something, but if I'm hired to write something by "The Man," or by a studio, for whatever reason, it's really hard for me to finish. I inevitably wind up using that time to write something else. — Diablo Cody
