More quotes by Gillian Flynn
I'm all for whatever transitions the book properly to a movie.
Gillian Flynn
Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them.
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
I was raised feral, and I mostly stayed that way.
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
It was surprising that you could spend hours in the middle of the night pretending things were OK, and know in thirty seconds of daylight that that simply wasn't so.
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
I often don't say things out loud, even when I should. I contain and compartmentalize to a disturbing degree: In my belly-basement are hundreds of bottles of rage, despair, fear, but you'd never guess from looking at me.
Gillian Flynn
Safer to be feared than loved.
Gillian Flynn
My mother had always told her kids: if you're about to do something, and you want to know if it's a bad idea, imagine seeing it printed in the paper for all the world to see.
Gillian Flynn
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
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 assumed everything bad in the world could happen, because everything bad in the world already did happen.
Gillian Flynn
I can't think of anything more crushing than slowly, over time, realizing exactly how wrong you were about someone.
Gillian Flynn
I'd come to believe there was no food more depressing than Danish, a pastry that seemed stale upon arrival
Gillian Flynn
To me, marriage is the ultimate mystery.
Gillian Flynn
I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
Gillian Flynn
There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.
Gillian Flynn
People say children from broken homes have it hard, but the children of charmed marriages have their own particular challenges.
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
