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
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
I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
Gillian Flynn
Image
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
Image
Ah, well, being conflicted means you can live a shallow life without copping to be a shallow person.
Gillian Flynn
Image
There are no really new stories anymore.
Gillian Flynn

Nick is like a good stiff drink: He gives everything the correct perspective.
