Why was I holding on to something that would never be mine? But isn't that what people do?
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.

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.

I had no idea that 'Less Than Zero' was going to be read by anyone outside of Los Angeles, and it's - believe me, as the writer of the book I'm somewhat amused and intrigued by the idea that 25 years later it's still out and people are still reading it.
