We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are…Or we can decide for ourselves.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I think Chris Brown gets kind...

I think Chris Brown gets kind of dismissed as a gay writer, and I think Chris's books are really, really smart. I wish his books sold a little more widely.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Sometimes, like in 'Invisible...

Sometimes, like in 'Invisible Monsters,' I get too out of control, and instead of a plot point every chapter, I want a plot point in every sentence.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I think my heart always goes ...

I think my heart always goes out to men at the peak of their celebrity who checked out. There's such an odd, horrible trend in my lifetime for it - Kurt Cobain, David Foster Wallace, Alexander McQueen, Heath Ledger.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I'm trying to make order out ...

I'm trying to make order out of chaos, trying to find some way of rationalising the horrific things that people do or the way the world is.

I've always been very curious...

I've always been very curious about fringe cultures where people temporarily adopt a different social model or way of presenting themselves.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Arguing that God doesn't exis...

Arguing that God doesn't exist would be like people in the 10th century arguing that germs and microbes didn't exist because they couldn't see them.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I wouldn't get nearly as many...

I wouldn't get nearly as many books written if I lived in New York. The Columbia Gorge is fantastic. When the sun shines, I just want to be outdoors.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

So many of our enormous emoti...

So many of our enormous emotional crises are lived through the media. They're lived through movies; they're lived through what we watch on television - they're not actual events in our life.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

People said that 'Fight Club'...

People said that 'Fight Club' would be impossible to turn into a movie, but I think David Fincher loved that challenge.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I know that I'm going to die ...

I know that I'm going to die and that you're going to die. I can't do anything about that. But I can explore it through a metaphor and make a kind of funny, dark story about it, and in doing so, really exhaust and research as many aspects of it as I can imagine. And in a way, that does give me some closure.

Since September 11, 2001, the real world has become too scary for a lot of people to be with - all the time.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

The third person allows characters to really attack themselves. We all do this - attack ourselves - every hour of our lives.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I usually write in my kitchen...

I usually write in my kitchen, which is a large, octagonal room that looks into woods - three big windows look out into the trees.

A film has to maintain a certain decorum in order to be broadcast to a vast audience.

The best thing about getting a flu shot is that you never again need to wash your hands. That's how I see it.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Mr. Olsen in the fifth grade ...

Mr. Olsen in the fifth grade made me want to be a writer. He said, 'Chuck, you do this really well. And this is much better than setting fires, so keep it up.' That made me a writer.

Portland is quickly becoming one of those lovely, lush Third World countries where kinda-rich people retire with their money.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I dread the promotion part of my job. It's agony, especially compared to the private, at-home joy of writing. But being a grown-up means doing every part of the larger task.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

My favorite books to give or get are short story collections. And always paperbacks because they are easy to carry as you travel.
