More quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
What else is there to do in college except drink beer or slit one's wrists?
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
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
I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.
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
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
The seeds of love have taken hold and if we won't burn together, I'll burn alone.
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
Fear never shows up and the party ends early.
Bret Easton Ellis
She sits before me, sullen but hopeful, characterless, about to dissolve into tears. I squeeze her hand back, moved, no, touched by her ignorance of evil. She has one more test to pass. Do you own a briefcase?” I ask her, swallowing.
Bret Easton Ellis
It's because you're always fighting sentiment. You're fighting sentimentality all of the time because being a mother alerts you in such a primal way.
Bret Easton Ellis
No one will ever know anyone. We just have to deal with each other. You're not ever gonna know me.
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
History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.
Bret Easton Ellis
I think basically most men are misogynistic.
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
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
You learn to move on without the people you love.
Bret Easton Ellis
My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone.
Bret Easton Ellis
I felt lethal, on the verge of frenzy. My nightly bloodlust overflowed into my days and I had to leave the city. My mask of sanity was a victim of impending slippage. This was the bone season for me and I needed a vacation.
