More quotes by Gillian Flynn
I'm all for whatever transitions the book properly to a movie.
Gillian Flynn
Most beautiful, good things were done by women people scorn.
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
I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
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'd come to believe there was no food more depressing than Danish, a pastry that seemed stale upon arrival
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

Gillian Flynn
There are no really new stories anymore.
Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn
I'm a true-crime addict. It's not something I'm particularly proud of, but I can't stop.
Gillian Flynn

Gillian Flynn
Friends see most of each other’s flaws. Spouses see every awful last bit.
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
I feel like I need to give people a note with the book that says, 'I'm OK, no worries!'
Gillian Flynn
Safer to be feared than loved.
Gillian Flynn
To refuse has so many more consequences than submitting.
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.
