More quotes by 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
No one is drawn to writing about being happy or feelings of joy.
Bret Easton Ellis
The images I had were of people being driven mad by living in the city. Images of parents who were so hungry and unfulfilled that they ate their own children.
Bret Easton Ellis
Do you wear a diaphragm everywhere you go?' I want to scream, but stop myself because the idea really excites me.
Bret Easton Ellis
After a while you learn that everything stops.
Bret Easton Ellis
I write books to relieve myself of pain. That's the prime motivator to write. Period.
Bret Easton Ellis
Not being able to find meaning can be just as powerful as finding meaning.
Bret Easton Ellis
Women aren't very bright, Rip says. Studies have been done.
Bret Easton Ellis
Writing a novel is not method acting and I find it easy to step out of it at cocktail hour.
Bret Easton Ellis
Our lives are not all interconnected. That theory is a crock. Some people truly do not need to be here.
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 don't want to care. If I care about things, it'll just be worse, it'll just be another thing to worry about. It's less painful if I don't care.
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
Everyone I know who is successful has issues with their father, regardless of whether it was sports or business or entertainment.
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
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 feel like I'm not smart enough to answer the questions I'm asked.
Bret Easton Ellis
I think basically most men are misogynistic.
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.
