“But this was what happened when you didn't want to visit and confront the past: the past starts visiting and confronting you.”
Bret Easton Ellis, Lunar Park

“How is your father?” she asks disinterestedly.
“A contrivance,” I mutter. “A plot device.”
Bret Easton Ellis, Glamorama

Bret Easton Ellis
“there was a song i heard when i was in los angeles by a local group. the song was called "los angeles" and the words and images were so harsh and bitter that the song would reverberate in my mind for days. the images, i later found out, were personal and no one i knew shared them. the images i had were of people being driven mad by living in the city. images of parents who were so hungry and unfulfilled that they ate their own children. images of people, teenagers my own age, looking up from the asphalt and being blinded by the sun. these images stayed with me even after i left the city. images so violent and malicious that they seemed to be my only point of reference for a long time afterwards. after i left.”
Bret Easton Ellis, Less Than Zero

“From those of us who are left behind: you will be remembered, you were the one I needed, I loved you in my dreams.”
Bret Easton Ellis, Lunar Park

Bret Easton Ellis
“My books have all been very deeply felt. You don’t spend eight years of your life working on a trendy knockoff. In that sense I’ve been serious. But I don’t do lots of things that other serious writers do. I don’t write book reviews. I don’t sit on panels about the state of the novel. I don’t go to writer conferences. I don’t teach writing seminars. I don’t hang out at Yaddo or MacDowell. I’m not concerned with my reputation as a writer and where I stand relative to other writers. I’m not competitive or professionally ambitious. I don’t think about my work and my career in an overarching or systematic way. I don’t think about myself, as I think most writers do, as progressing toward some ideal of greatness. There’s no grand plan. All I know is that I write the books I want to write. All that other stuff is meaningless to me.”
Bret Easton Ellis
