More quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
If you come at movies with your own sense of morality and not your own sense of aesthetics, I think you're screwed. I think that's not a way to look at movies.
Bret Easton Ellis
History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.
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
It's the rare book that's able to transport you in a way that a movie does.
Bret Easton Ellis
I have no problems or issues with screenwriting in general.
Bret Easton Ellis
And as the elevator descents, passing the second floor, and the first floor, going even father down, I realize that the money doesn't matter. That all that does is that I want to see the worst
Bret Easton Ellis
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.
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
The seeds of love have taken hold and if we won't burn together, I'll burn alone.
Bret Easton Ellis
I have to return some videotapes
Bret Easton Ellis
I write books to relieve myself of pain. That's the prime motivator to write. Period.
Bret Easton Ellis
I've been accused of being very vain about my apathy.
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
Women aren't very bright, Rip says. Studies have been done.
Bret Easton Ellis
And as things fell apart, nobody paid much attention
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
I keep feeling that people are becoming less human and more animalistic. They seem to think less and feel less so that everyone is operating on a very primitive level. I wonder what you and I will see in our lifetimes. It seems so hopeless yet we must keep on trying ... I guess we can't escape being a product of the times, can we?
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
My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone.
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.
