Our purest form of joy comes when people we envy get hurt. That most genuine form of joy.

It's interesting because when David Fincher was making Fight Club, he said, It's a romance. And it really is. Almost everything I ever write is just a romance. And that needed to be sort of pointed up at the end of Fight Club. The film has a very different ending than the book does.

I often need physical gesture to balance dialogue. If I write in public, every time I need to know what a character is doing with his hand or foot, I can look up and study people and find compelling gestures that I can harvest. Writing in public gives you that access to a junkyard of details all around you.

When someone walks in and you say a six-foot-tall man, you miss the opportunity to describe what a six-foot-tall man would look like to your narrator, because how the narrator describes a six-foot-tall man says more about the narrator than about the man.

What we call chaos is just patterns we haven’t recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher.

When did the future switch from being a promise to a threat?

I can manage my own pain. I can drink. I can go to the doctor and get a prescription. I can exercise. I can write a story about it. I've done it a million times! But I don't want to see the people I love tortured and suffering.

I hate how I don't feel real enough unless people are watching.
