Bret Easton Ellis
I think basically most men are misogynistic.
Bret Easton Ellis
It's because you're always fighting sentiment. You're fighting sentimentality all of the time because being a mother alerts you in such a primal way.
Bret Easton Ellis
Disappear Here. The syringe fills with blood. You're a beautiful boy and that's all that matters. Wonder if he's for sale. People are afraid to merge. To merge.
Bret Easton Ellis
No one is drawn to writing about being happy or feelings of joy.
Bret Easton Ellis
I've forgotten who I had lunch with earlier, and even more important, where.
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
Open the hood of a car and it will tell you something about the people who designed it, is just one of many phrases I’m tortured by.
