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
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.

I wasn't acting on passion. I was simply acting.

I feel like I'm not smart enough to answer the questions I'm asked.

I think the '80s created me, in a way, when I look back on that time, but I don't necessarily think that a lot of my choices, and a lot of things that I did, and a lot of things that happened to me - or I let happen to me - were about that decade.

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

If you start looking at movies on a moral level - I don't like that, that hurts, that's mean, that's bad - then I don't even want to talk to you. Or like, someone that says I don't like science-fiction movies, or I don't want to sit through a Western, or I don't like violence in movies, then I completely tune out.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
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.

My pain is constant and sharp...this confession has meant nothing

I do not feel I have a legacy to protect.

I think a lot of snowflakes are alike...and I think a lot of people are alike too.

...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.
