Bret Easton Ellis, the US novelist who wrote Less Than Zero and American Psycho was born on 7 March 1964. Here are some of his thoughts on writing, evil, the past, and more.
- Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do?
- The better you look, the more you see.
- Look how black the sky is, the writer said. I made it that way.
- When the going gets tough, the tough go drinking.
- But this was what happened when you didn't want to visit and confront the past: the past starts visiting and confronting you.
- People are afraid to merge.
- I don't know why I write what I write.
- I just sort of write the book I feel like writing given the emotional place I am in my life at the time.
- It's the rare book that's able to transport you in a way that a movie does.
- All of my books come from pain.
