There’s a boy who they call Pony! He’s always acting gross and horny! He thinks he’s got a lot down there, but he sure wears tiny underwear!
My high school wasn’t a big public school; it was tiny. There were 36 girls in my graduating class. We were a big group of girls that by the time senior year came along couldn’t wait to get away from school fast enough but we loved each other. It’s really fun to see the girls at reunions now.
My biggest fear in writing ‘Gossip Girl’ was that the characters would sound like stereotypical rich, air-headed heiresses. These were my friends. They were smart and multifaceted. They had interests and passions. They wanted to become lawyers and doctors and writers and filmmakers.
I’m always saying that my books are not autobiographical because they’re not. I can’t choose any one scene and say, ‘Oh, this is exactly what happened to me!’ I just use little snippets of things as a starting point!
Even now, I change my style and clothes from one day to the next, but during high school I blended in. I think a lot of people are that way. I guess that’s why I can write about an array of characters.
I have no sense of what I should or shouldn’t talk about. I just blather. Which is why it’s fun to write ‘Gossip Girl.’ I do tend to just talk about anything.
I certainly didn’t say while writing ‘Gossip Girl,’ ‘Oh this is going to be big!’ It was really like, ‘Oh god, everyone’s gong to hate these people! They’re so bratty!’ But I actually think what is so appealing about them is the humor in them.
I tend to stare at people and memorize what they’re saying and how they say it.
I’ll tell you what I think. I think you need to stay indoors reading more books!
But she’d wanted him there and there he was. A lamb ready for slaughter.
Who has time to make up stories when the truth is so much more interesting?

Open the fridge and put My heart on a plate. I’m just as you left me, and I taste even better leftover.
You said she’s a senior? Babe we’re ALL crazy.
Give a girl a boyfriend and she becomes a total expert on relationships.
You can’t make people love you but you can make them fear you.
Most people were raised to believe they are just as good as the next person. I was always told I was better.
