With possible expectation upon her to one-up her success with “Juno,” which won her a first-time nomination and an Oscar for screenwriting the same night, Diablo Cody<\/a> spoke with Time Out New York on the pressure she’s felt to follow up:<\/p>\n

None. … How could I possibly? The experience that I had with Juno is something I could never replicate, ever. First of all, you never have your first baby again. Second, the whole production was really charmed from start to finish. … And then it culminated in Oscar nominations [a]nd a win for moi<\/em>. It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get any better than that. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m so fortunate that I got to have that experience. Now I almost feel this great calm coming over me. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be feeling a lot more pressure if I was still striving for that goal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read the entire interview<\/a> at TimeOut.com. Her latest work, “Jennifer’s Body,” is now in theaters and her television series, “United States of Tara,” is on the air. Upcoming projects with her involvement include “Girly Style,” “Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament,” and “Sweet Valley High.”<\/p>\n

Bestselling author Seth Godin added, “[s]ometimes, the work is the work and the goal isn’t to top what you did yesterday. Doing justice to the work is your task, not setting a world record.”<\/p>\n
