If you've been in the art world for more than eight years, you realize another generation is making the exact same work as the previous generation - but treating it like it's never been done before. It becomes very cyclical very quickly.
Christopher Bollen
There is something very romantic about the orphan figure in American literature.
Christopher Bollen
The first horror movie I saw, in first or second grade, was My Bloody Valentine [1981], where there's a deranged killer in a miner mask stalking a small coal town.
Christopher Bollen
Going out into the country after living in the city is a loss of control.
Christopher Bollen
There seem to be two ways of generating interest from the reader: withholding information or by telling the reader on the first page exactly what's going to happen.
