But this road doesn't go anywhere,” I told him. “That doesn't matter.” “What does?” I asked, after a little while. “Just that we're on it, dude,” he said.

Disintegration---I'm taking it in stride.
Bret Easton Ellis
No one is drawn to writing about being happy or feelings of joy.
Bret Easton Ellis
There’s no grand plan. All I know is that I write the books I want to write. All that other stuff is meaningless to me.
Bret Easton Ellis
My pain is constant and sharp...this confession has meant nothing
Bret Easton Ellis
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.
Bret Easton Ellis
I felt lethal, on the verge of frenzy. My nightly bloodlust overflowed into my days and I had to leave the city. My mask of sanity was a victim of impending slippage. This was the bone season for me and I needed a vacation.
Bret Easton Ellis
I think a lot of snowflakes are alike...and I think a lot of people are alike too.
Bret Easton Ellis
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.
Bret Easton Ellis
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 wonder what you and I will see in our lifetimes. It seems so hopeless yet we must keep on trying ... I guess we can't escape being a product of the times, can we?
Bret Easton Ellis
After a while you learn that everything stops.
Bret Easton Ellis
I do not feel I have a legacy to protect.
Bret Easton Ellis
I feel I'm moving toward as well as away from something, and anything is possible.
Bret Easton Ellis
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
The better you look, the more you see.
Bret Easton Ellis
Completely committed to adapting 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. This is not a joke. Christian Grey and Ana: potentially great cinematic characters.
Bret Easton Ellis
I write books to relieve myself of pain. That's the prime motivator to write. Period.
Bret Easton Ellis
My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone.
Bret Easton Ellis
Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female Hitchcock or a female Scorsese or a female Spielberg? I don't know. I think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility.
Bret Easton Ellis
I'm not a big believer in disciplined writers. What does discipline mean? The writer who forces himself to sit down and write for seven hours every day might be wasting those seven hours if he's not in the mood and doesn't feel the juice. I don't think discipline equals creativity.
Bret Easton Ellis
I have no problems or issues with screenwriting in general.
