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.

Bret Easton Ellis
There’s no use in denying it: this has been a bad week. I’ve started drinking my own urine.
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
I feel I'm moving toward as well as away from something, and anything is possible.
Bret Easton Ellis
I do not feel I have a legacy to protect.
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
Why was I holding on to something that would never be mine? But isn't that what people do?
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
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.
