There are so many good books, I don’t want to only read within one particular type. Gillian Flynn Read Quote
I’ve always been a mystery fan. My very first grown-up book, I distinctly remember going to the library and my mom helping me pick out an Agatha Christie book. I was in fifth grade or something and very proud of being in the adult fiction aisles. I tore through ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles.’ Gillian Flynn Read Quote
I assumed that ‘Gone Girl’ would do incrementally better than ‘Dark Places,’ and that would be great. So the fact that it did more than that was kind of an incredibly pleasant surprise. Gillian Flynn Read Quote
I think that women really entwine with the people that they become close to in a way that men don’t – and so, when they are forced to disentwine, you can’t remove the vines without doing some damage. Gillian Flynn Read Quote
I think women do have that fatal streak to them that’s partly because it’s been romanticized, the martyr complex – ‘Look what you did to me!’ Gillian Flynn Read Quote
You have to be pretty selfless to have a child, who doesn’t give a lot back to you. Gillian Flynn Read Quote
I have two kids, and anyone who has a kid in order to feel loved is going to be in trouble because kids are first and foremost all about themselves. They’ll say they love you, but 10 seconds later they’ll turn on you. Gillian Flynn Read Quote
I just think – the Midwest, if you grow up there, you’re deathly afraid of putting on airs. Any time a Midwesterner criticizes someone, it’s usually involving some form of being too big for your britches. Gillian Flynn Read Quote
I love a good worst-case scenario. My brain just kind of works that way. I like that idea of how much a person can get away with, and why. Gillian Flynn Read Quote
I always loved ghost stories and haunted house stories, whether they were done in a fantasy way or done in a realistic way. Gillian Flynn Read Quote
