More quotes by Gillian Flynn
Nick is like a good stiff drink: He gives everything the correct perspective.
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
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
I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
Gillian Flynn
To refuse has so many more consequences than submitting.
Gillian Flynn
There are a million talented writers who are unpublished only because they stop writing when it gets hard.
Gillian Flynn
I feel like I need to give people a note with the book that says, 'I'm OK, no worries!'
Gillian Flynn
I'm all for whatever transitions the book properly to a movie.
Gillian Flynn
Bang bang bang. I understand now why so many horror movies use that device-the mysterious knock on the door-because it has the weight of a nightmare. You don't know what's out there, yet you know you'll open it. You'll think what I think: No one bad ever knocks.
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
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
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
Gillian Flynn
I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ. Slit me at my belly and it might slide out, meaty and dark, drop on the floor so you could stomp on it.
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
I was raised feral, and I mostly stayed that way.
Gillian Flynn
Friends see most of each other’s flaws. Spouses see every awful last bit.
Gillian Flynn
I grew up in the '80s where there's a lot of these kind of post-apocalyptic, post-comet, post-whatever it was, so that always captured my imagination a lot as a little kid, that idea of getting access to secret places and being able to roam around where you're not supposed to.
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 would have done anything to feel real again.
Gillian Flynn
I waited patiently - years - for the pendulum to swing the other way, for men to start reading Jane Austen, learn how to knit, pretend to love cosmos, organize scrapbook parties, and make out with each other while we leer. And then we'd say, Yeah, he's a Cool Guy.
