More quotes by Gillian Flynn
Ah, well, being conflicted means you can live a shallow life without copping to be a shallow person.
Gillian Flynn
I'm a true-crime addict. It's not something I'm particularly proud of, but I can't stop.
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 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
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'd come to believe there was no food more depressing than Danish, a pastry that seemed stale upon arrival
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 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.
Gillian Flynn
Nick is like a good stiff drink: He gives everything the correct perspective.
Gillian Flynn
I would have done anything to feel real again.
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 feel like I need to give people a note with the book that says, 'I'm OK, no worries!'
Gillian Flynn
It’s humbling, to become the very thing you once mocked.
Gillian Flynn
People focus on the darker female characters in my books, but for every one of those, I can also show you an equally screwed up man that no one ever comments about, or a nicer woman that no one comments about.
Gillian Flynn
Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them.
Gillian Flynn
There are a million talented writers who are unpublished only because they stop writing when it gets hard.
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
Love should require both partners to be their very best at all times
Gillian Flynn
Give me a man with a little fight in him, a man who calls me on my bullshit. (But who also kind of likes my bullshit.)
Gillian Flynn
To spend a life in dreams, that sounded too lovely.
Gillian Flynn
