More quotes by Gillian Flynn
I think there is something very relatable in the idea that you hit a certain age, later in your life, where you realize you have to pick up the rug and see what's underneath it and deal with stuff.
Gillian Flynn
Sometimes I think I won't ever feel safe until I can count my last days on one hand.
Gillian Flynn
There are no really new stories anymore.
Gillian Flynn
People love talking, and I have never been a huge talker. I carry on an inner monologue, but the words often don't reach my lips.
Gillian Flynn
People say children from broken homes have it hard, but the children of charmed marriages have their own particular challenges.
Gillian Flynn
There are a million talented writers who are unpublished only because they stop writing when it gets hard.
Gillian Flynn
I feel myself trying to be charming, and then I realize I’m obviously trying to be charming, and then I try to be even more charming to make up for the fake charm, and then I’ve basically turned into Liza Minnelli: I’m dancing in tights and sequins, begging you to love me. There’s a bowler and jazz hands and lots of teeth.
Gillian Flynn
My dad had limitations. That's what my good-hearted mom always told us. He had limitations, but he meant no harm. It was kind of her to say, but he did do harm.
Gillian Flynn
Friends see most of each other’s flaws. Spouses see every awful last bit.
Gillian Flynn
I think mystery writers and thriller writers - whatever genre you want to call it - are taking on some of the biggest, most interesting kind of socioeconomic issues around in a really interesting, compelling way.
Gillian Flynn
My mother had always told her kids: if you're about to do something, and you want to know if it's a bad idea, imagine seeing it printed in the paper for all the world to see.
Gillian Flynn
Worries find you easily enough without inviting them.
Gillian Flynn
There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.
Gillian Flynn
Because isn’t that the point of every relationship: to be known by someone else, to be understood? He gets me. She gets me. Isn’t that the simple magic phrase?
Gillian Flynn
I'm a huge fan of ghost stories, that sort of slow build, the suspense and the questioning about whether you're imagining something or if it's real.
Gillian Flynn
We're into this barrage of pop culture - you know, TV, movies, the Internet. We become creatures that we've made up, made of certain different flotsam from pop culture and certain different personas that are in style.
Gillian Flynn
She released her grievances like handfuls of birdseed: They are there, and they are gone.
Gillian Flynn
I can't think of anything more crushing than slowly, over time, realizing exactly how wrong you were about someone.
Gillian Flynn
I often don't say things out loud, even when I should. I contain and compartmentalize to a disturbing degree: In my belly-basement are hundreds of bottles of rage, despair, fear, but you'd never guess from looking at me.
Gillian Flynn
I'm a true-crime addict. It's not something I'm particularly proud of, but I can't stop.
Gillian Flynn
