I try to tell a story the way someone would tell you a story in a bar, with the same kind of timing and pacing.

I will never write a sequel to anything that I will ever write.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

It seems that so much writing ...

It seems that so much writing is being done in the nineteenth-century model, where every connection has to be thoroughly explained.

It takes a lot to get people talking in airplanes. But once they start talking, you just can't shut them up.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

We kind of deny the stages of life.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I try to forget about the expe...

I try to forget about the expectation that's out there and the audience listening for the next thing so that I'm not trying to please them. I've spent a huge amount of time not communicating with those folks and denying that they exist.

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

If you start in the pit of des...

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.

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.

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

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.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

If anything I try to write som...

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

If you take my stuff apart, yo...

If you take my stuff apart, you'll find my choruses of repetitions are picked up almost verbatim from Kurt Vonnegut, and my distanced fracture quality is all from Amy Hempel, who's probably my favourite writer.

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?
