I've never had a mentor. I've always wanted one. I'm actually really disappointed that nobody took my under their wing.
Christopher Bollen
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
I like change. I've never really had much consistency in my life, you know, from everyday work to my living situation to whether or not I'm going to be in L.A. The one constant thing in my life is my friends and family, which is all I need
Christopher Bollen
The death drive is parasitic. It runs off of other drives, leeching off of them.
Christopher Bollen
I like to be alone, I mean, I really love to be alone more than anything else, and I don't really like to talk about myself to death, and I don't like to share too much, and I don't really have dreams of extreme fame or even extreme respect.
Christopher Bollen
I'm convinced I was the only kid ever who had a Death on the Nile [1978] movie poster and a Murder on the Orient Express [1974] movie poster on his bedroom walls.
Christopher Bollen
My parents were great parents, but for some bizarre reason they allowed me to watch whatever I wanted on TV, we had cable. And I constantly watched horror movies.
Christopher Bollen
I was a very scared child.

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.
Christopher Bollen
I was never afraid on stage. That's where I was the least afraid. I could just do what I do and I had the amplification and the lights.
Christopher Bollen
It's just as political, what you do in the bedroom is just as political as what you do in public.
Christopher Bollen
There is a value to moving more slowly through a story.
Christopher Bollen
I had lived in New York since 1996, sometimes in the worst neighborhoods, without even locking my door half the time.
Christopher Bollen
Going out into the country after living in the city is a loss of control.
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
Every time I try to write on vacation, I fail miserably.
Christopher Bollen
It's hard for me to figure out where I want to be. But it's definitely in New York. I feel like New York throws different challenges at you and you can be more creative.
Christopher Bollen
I definitely don't take any of intrusions in my private life personally. You learn how to have a sense of humor pretty quickly. I honestly don't keep up on it unless it's something that would hurt someone else. I can take care of myself, that's not the problem. But it's just not fair to bring anyone else into the picture.
Christopher Bollen
My strength is character. I'm pretty good at building walking-talking humans with brains like beehives.

I had been going out to Orient for several years.
