Josh Schwartz on Gossip Girl, Guilt, And His Movie Obsession
He's the man behind Gossip Girl and The O.C. -- and the youngest person to create a network drama (he was 26 when The O.C. debuted). Clearly, Josh Schwartz has the Midas touch when it comes to teen soaps. Has all that success gone to his head?

Let us know what you think of the interview. We would've liked a few more questions about Gossip Girl, but we'll take what we can get!
