Most people were raised to believe they are just as good as the next person. I was always told I was better.

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 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.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
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.

the only way to tolerate the thought of her mother sleeping with that man was to get drunk-very drunk.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
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.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
But she'd wanted him there and there he was. A lamb ready for slaughter.

the garbage cans and mailboxes on the sidewalk would stay the same, but the people would be just a beautiful blur of motion.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
I tend to stare at people and memorize what they're saying and how they say it.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
It really kind of sucked to be close to someone for so long and then suddenly not be anything anymore.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
Oh, don't be a spoilsport. Gossip is sexy. Gossip is good. Not everybody does it, but everybody should!
Cecily von Ziegesar -
I'll tell you what I think. I think you need to stay indoors reading more books!
Cecily von Ziegesar -
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.

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.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
Just because we can't be together doesn't mean I don't love you
Cecily von Ziegesar -
You know you love me. Xoxo, GossipGirl.

Give a girl a boyfriend and she becomes a total expert on relationships

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!
Cecily von Ziegesar -
I don't eat chicken abortions!

Open the fridge and put My heart on a plate. I'm just as you left me, and I taste even better leftover.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
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.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
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.
Cecily von Ziegesar -
And who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell...You know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl
