I don't know why I write what I write.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
At Columbus Circle, a juggler wearing a trench cloak and top hat, who is usually at this location afternoons and who calls himself Stretch Man, performs in front of a small, uninterested crowd though I smell prey, and he seems worthy of my wrath, I move on in search of a less dorky target. Though if he'd been a mime, odds are he'd already be dead.

The snowy owl has eyes that look just like mine, especially when it widens them. And while I stand there, staring at it, lowering my sunglasses, something unspoken passes between me and the bird - there's this weird kind of tension, a bizarre pressure, that fuels the following, which starts, happens, ends, very quickly.

I keep feeling that people are becoming less human and more animalistic. They seem to think less and feel less so that everyone is operating on a very primitive level.

I am gripped by an existential panic.

You learn to move on without the people you love.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
The seeds of love have taken hold and if we won't burn together, I'll burn alone.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
What keeps me interested--and it always does--is how can she be a bad actress on film but a good one in reality?
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
Exploitation is a harsh word, I know that, but on a certain level, to me that is the central Hollywood story.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
I like the idea of a writer being haunted by his own creation, especially if the writer resents the way the character defines him.
Bret Easton Ellis

Hope E.L .James doesn't think I'm being a prankster. I really want to adapt her novels for the screen. Christian Grey is a writer's dream.
Bret Easton Ellis

No one will ever know anyone. We just have to deal with each other. You're not ever gonna know me.

Completely committed to adapting 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. This is not a joke. Christian Grey and Ana: potentially great cinematic characters.

...there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

I really believe that readers are smart and sophisticated enough to realize that the author is not the narrator of his novels.
Bret Easton Ellis

If you come at movies with your own sense of morality and not your own sense of aesthetics, I think you're screwed. I think that's not a way to look at movies.
