There aren’t a lot of female screenwriters in Hollywood. There are even fewer who have cool haircuts and good taste in music. Thank god then for Diablo Cody. Diablo (real name: Brook Busey) first nabbed attention when she decided to turn her mundane Minneapolis life upside down by leaving her job as a copywriter to become a stripper — an experience chronicled in her book “Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper.” She parlayed the book’s success into her first screenplay, “Juno,” which won rave reviews at the Telluride Film Festival.

It’s no surprise then that all of this weighty praise has led Tinseltown to flock to Cody. She has become the person to have attached to your project — even if you’re Steven Spielberg. The pair will be working on a TV series together for Showtime called “The United States of Tara.” Of the union, Cody says she pitched the famous director over the phone without ever having met him. “Isn’t that awesome?,” she asks. “It’s like ‘Charlie’s Angels.’” Here are ten other quotes from Hollywood’s latest obsession, all of which confirm Diablo Cody does indeed have a way with words:

– “I met Brandon Routh from “Superman” last year. He looks like a special effect. He’s too beautiful to live. And actors are all tiny people. Why is that? I’m a hulk compared to them! If you look at pictures of me with actors, I look like I ate them all.”

– “Booty rap is the nectar of life. I hate that shit the cool people listen to.”

– “I’ve been told that I’m incompetent, socially retarded, maladjusted. I still know that I couldn’t function in reality. Los Angeles is a good place for me.”

– “Megan Fox is hotter than the earth’s core.”

- “Google has the feature now where you can see who’s Googling you regionally, and like 99 percent of my Googles are still coming out of Minnesota.”

– “God, I would slit my wrists to meet Judd Apatow.”

“I have now gone three months without TV. Three months off the tit. I even missed “I Am Mandy Moore” on Oxygen. Fuck, that’s raw.”

– “Here’s something awesome about Lance Bass: When you go into his bathroom, he has the MTV Moonman award holding his toilet paper.”

“I don’t even know that an Academy Award could keep me off the pole.”

– ”If you want to know who I was at 18, you look at my left butt cheek.”

Diablo Cody’s first film “Juno” opens on December 5th and was directed by Jason Reitman.
