More quotes by Gillian Flynn
There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.
Gillian Flynn
Friends see most of each other’s flaws. Spouses see every awful last bit.
Gillian Flynn
I'm a true-crime addict. It's not something I'm particularly proud of, but I can't stop.
Gillian Flynn
A town so suffocating and small, you tripped over people you hated every day. People who knew things about you. It's the kind of place that leaves a mark.
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
I'm all for whatever transitions the book properly to a movie.
Gillian Flynn
I think there is something very relatable in the idea that you hit a certain age, later in your life, where you realize you have to pick up the rug and see what's underneath it and deal with stuff.
Gillian Flynn
Sometimes I think I won't ever feel safe until I can count my last days on one hand.
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
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
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
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
There’s something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold.
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
A child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort.
Gillian Flynn
I've always been partial to the image of liquor as lubrication, a layer of protection from all the sharp thoughts in your head.
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
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
It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.
Gillian Flynn
