No one will ever know anyone. We just have to deal with each other. You're not ever gonna know me.
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
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
I laugh maniacally, then take a deep breath and touch my chest- expecting a heart to be thumping quickly, impatiently, but there's nothing there, not even a beat.
Bret Easton Ellis
Why was I holding on to something that would never be mine? But isn't that what people do?
Bret Easton Ellis
I have no problems or issues with screenwriting in general.
Bret Easton Ellis
I write books to relieve myself of pain. That's the prime motivator to write. Period.

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'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
My pain is constant and sharp...this confession has meant nothing
Bret Easton Ellis

Bret Easton Ellis
I have to return some videotapes
Bret Easton Ellis

Bret Easton Ellis
With Taipei Tao Lin becomes the most interesting prose stylist of his generation...
Bret Easton Ellis
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
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
How could she ever understand that there isn't any way could be disappointed since I no longer find anything worth looking forward to?
Bret Easton Ellis
I do not feel I have a legacy to protect.
Bret Easton Ellis
...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.
Bret Easton Ellis
I kept staring into the blackness of the woods, drawn into the darkness as I always had been. I suddenly realized how alone I was. (But this is how you travel, the wind whispered back, this is how you've always lived.)
