If you died right now, how would you feel about your life?

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Most often, people leave a sma...

Most often, people leave a small town to dream of returning there. And others stay to dream of leaving there.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Do you remember when you were ...

Do you remember when you were 10 or 11 years old and you really thought your folks were the best? They were completely omniscient and you took their word for everything. And then you got older and you went through this hideous age when suddenly they were the devil, they were bullies, and they didn't know anything.

The most boring scenes are the scenes where a character is alone.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

If anything I try to write something that would be more difficult to film. I tend to see film as competition and would like instead to do what books do best.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

You hear the best stories from ordinary people. That sense of immediacy is more real to me than a lot of writerly, literary-type crafted stories. I want that immediacy when I read a novel.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Some of the best ideas I get s...

Some of the best ideas I get seem to happen when I'm doing mindless manual labor or exercise. I'm not sure how that happens, but it leaves me free for remarkable ideas to occur.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Find joy in everything you cho...

Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home... it's your responsibility to love it, or change it.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Personal identity seems like i...

Personal identity seems like it's just such an American archetype, from Holly Golightly re-inventing herself in 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' to Jay Gatsby in 'The Great Gatsby.' It seems like the sort of archetypal American issue. If you're given the freedom to be anything, or be anyone, what do you do with it?

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

My goal is more to be remember...

My goal is more to be remembered. They'll remember this thing and like it in the future. The trick is to stay remembered long enough for that to happen.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I believe in something. But I ...

I believe in something. But I don't believe that anything can hold a grudge for long enough to condemn its creation to eternal punishment. Nobody can hold a grudge that long, even God.

Maybe it's our sins that give God consolation when he finally has to give us cancer.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I think, in a way, I invented ...

I think, in a way, I invented the term 'fight club' and that these things have always existed, but they never really had a label. Nobody had a language to apply to them. I created that language in two words and I've been paid a great deal of money for inventing two words and labeling something that has always been around.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

If you start in the pit of despair with these profane, awful things, even a glimmer of hope or awareness is going to occur that's much brighter coming from this dark, awful beginning.

I really love idiot, enlightened characters - these characters who fail to engage with the drama of their immediate circumstances they fail to be reactive and enrolled by drama as it happens around them.

I have a lot of money.

The world of American politics is more contentious than it has ever been in my lifetime.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I think in a way, you're doome...

I think in a way, you're doomed, once you can envision something. You're sort of doomed to make it happen. I've found that the moment I can envision leaving a relationship, that's usually the moment that the relationship starts to fall apart.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point, a romantic point, but reach it in a really unconventional way, a really profane way. To get to that romantic, touching, heartbreaking place, but through a lot of acts of profanity.
