More quotes by 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
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
I feel like I need to give people a note with the book that says, 'I'm OK, no worries!'
Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn
Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them.
Gillian Flynn

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

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
People say children from broken homes have it hard, but the children of charmed marriages have their own particular challenges.
Gillian Flynn
Most beautiful, good things were done by women people scorn.
Gillian Flynn
I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
Gillian Flynn
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
Gillian Flynn
There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.
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
To me, marriage is the ultimate mystery.
Gillian Flynn
