Oh, don’t be a spoilsport. Gossip is sexy. Gossip is good. Not everybody does it, but everybody should!
Just because we can’t be together doesn’t mean I don’t love you.
Poor Nate was always on the verge of saying how he really felt, but he didn’t want to make a scene or say something he might regret later. Instead, he kept quiet and let other people steer the boat, while he laid back and enjoyed the steady rocking of the waves.
It really kind of sucked to be close to someone for so long and then suddenly not be anything anymore.
Taste of metal on my tongue. Poison the color of envy- I’m delirious, you’re delicious, I’m deluded and delusional. I’m lost without you. I need you.
I remember, in my senior year, one of my teachers taking me aside and saying: ‘You look really tired.’ This was when I was being a bad kid and she knew that something was wrong.
I decided that, if I were to write a teen series, I’d want to set it in a place that was familiar to me – Manhattan, where I’d grown up – and I’d model the characters on myself and my friends.
I’m just a crazy person. I mean, I really didn’t have any trouble coming up with weird ways for people to die. I think I’m just very twisted!
I guess I was popular in high school.
I avoid the young adult section altogether if possible, although it’s sometimes fun to catch a girl lying on the floor, reading ‘Gossip Girl.’
I’d never really babysat. I feel like I’m Blair, or ‘Gossip Girl.’ A teenager, basically – and now suddenly I’m a mom?
She was doing that thing some people do when they act nice and chipper and interested, while just below the surface they’re thinking really mean thoughts, and you can never call them on it because they’d just accuse you of being paranoid.
Smart, truly hilarious, and entirely sympathetic. Like a hot bubble bath or a holiday at the beach, you won’t want it to end.
But I’ve always been fascinated with that prettiest-girl-in-the-class person that I never was, getting inside her head and showing that she’s just as tormented and messed up as everybody else.
When I was 16, 17, 18 years old, I felt like I had seen it all and done it all, and I was really kind of negative about everything.
The girls show more skin these days, but I think, generally, they behave the same way as when I was growing up.
I always resented books that tried to teach a lesson, where the characters are too good: They don’t swear, they tell their mothers everything.
Face it, you have to be sort of an egomaniac to write something down and think that anyone is going to want to read it.
It’s physics. Pure physics, I’m falling fast and faster still. So fall with me. Fall down with me. And stay.
Recently my publicist asked me for a college photo, and I realize how chubby I looked. I know this sounds totally shallow, but my advice is don’t fall prey to the freshmen fifteen!
