I Was Maybe 10 Or

Diablo Cody Wasn't Writing A Script About A 16-year Girl That Got An Abortion. She Was Writing A Script About A 16-year Old Girl That Got Pregnant, Decided To Have The Baby And Give It To A Young Yuppy Uptight Couple For Adoption. That's What The Movie Is About.

It's A Beautiful Book [into The Forest], So For Those Who Are Thinking About Reading It, They Absolutely Should. First And Foremost, I Just Devoured It, As A Story. At That Time, And Still, It Just Encompassed A Lot Of Things That I Was Thinking About, And That The World Is Thinking About, With Society's Relationship To The Environment, Our Personal Relationship To It, And How Disconnected We Are From It, Myself Included.

It's Weird Because Here I Am, An Actress, Representing - At Least In Some Sense - An Industry That Places Crushing Standards On All Of Us. Not Just Young People, But Everyone. Standards Of Beauty. Of A Good Life. Of Success. Standards That, I Hate To Admit, Have Affected Me.

There Are A Lot Of Things I Love About Acting And One Of The Things I Love The Most Is, Here You Are Taking Words Off A Page, Working With Someone You Might Have Met Just A Week Before, And Somehow You're Creating A Moment That Separates Itself From Space And Time. You Feel An Incredible Rush When You Have That Moment With Another Actor. You Can Feel It Bounce Off One Another. Every Take You Do Can Reveal Different Things That Were Hiding. And Things Outside The Story Get Revealed To You, Too. It's An Incredible Way To Work And To Experience A Story.
