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
Image
There’s no use in denying it: this has been a bad week. I’ve started drinking my own urine.

Exploitation is a harsh word, I know that, but on a certain level, to me that is the central Hollywood story.

And as things fell apart, nobody paid much attention

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.
