thinking boys ugly
You know when you see a gorgeous boy on the street and you say to your friend, "Look at him!" and then your friend makes a face like, ugly? We all have such totally varied tastes that someone is going to look at you and think, yum-yum dee-lish, no matter what you think you look like. You just have to learn to see what they see.
beach smart holiday
Smart, truly hilarious, and entirely sympathetic. Like a hot bubble bath or a holiday at the beach, you won't want it to end.
fall physics faster
It's physics. Pure physics, I'm falling fast and faster still. So fall with me. Fall down with me. And stay.
book use littles
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!
mother book character
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.
writing thinking down-and
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.
girl hate writing
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.
girl new-york book
I feel like 'Gossip Girl' isn't really 'Gossip Girl' anymore when they're away at school because they don't go to NYU; they go to, like, Yale and Brown. New York City is just as much a character as anyone else in the books, and I was really sort of reluctant to show them off in their separate college worlds.

girl boys attention
Not that she didn't love almost every boy she'd ever met, and not that every boy in the world didn't totally love her. It was impossible not to. But she wanted someone to love her and shower her with attention the way only a boy who was completely in love with her could. The rare sort of love. True love. The kind of love she'd never had.
girl years two
'Gossip Girl' came out in rapid succession over two years, so the endings always had to be suspenseful so that you couldn't wait for the next one.
mother sleep men
the only way to tolerate the thought of her mother sleeping with that man was to get drunk-very drunk.
beautiful garbage-cans people
the garbage cans and mailboxes on the sidewalk would stay the same, but the people would be just a beautiful blur of motion.
senior teacher kids
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.
