We're into this barrage of pop culture - you know, TV, movies, the Internet. We become creatures that we've made up, made of certain different flotsam from pop culture and certain different personas that are in style.

Gillian Flynn
Image
Friends see most of each other’s flaws. Spouses see every awful last bit.
Gillian Flynn
Image
Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them.
Gillian Flynn
Image
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
Image
A child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort.
Gillian Flynn
Image
I would have done anything to feel real again.
Gillian Flynn
Image
Worries find you easily enough without inviting them.
Gillian Flynn
Image
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
Image
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
Gillian Flynn
Image
People say children from broken homes have it hard, but the children of charmed marriages have their own particular challenges.
