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 like the discipline of writing a script. You can't go into the character's head - you have to find these creative ways to help externalize what they're thinking.
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
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

Gillian Flynn
There’s something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold.
Gillian Flynn
Worries find you easily enough without inviting them.
Gillian Flynn
I have four or five ideas that just keep floating around and I want to kind of just let one - like a beautiful butterfly, let it land somewhere.
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
Ironic people always dissolve when confronted with earnestness, it's their kryptonite
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
