Zitat des Tages von Bret Easton Ellis:

Completely committed to adapting 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. This is not a joke. Christian Grey and Ana: potentially great cinematic characters.

Every book for me is an exorcism in some way or another, working through my feelings at the time.

I have no problems or issues with screenwriting in general.

Unless you're the director on the movie, or putting up the money for the movie, you really don't have a lot of control.

I do not feel I have a legacy to protect.

Hope E. L .James doesn't think I'm being a prankster. I really want to adapt her novels for the screen. Christian Grey is a writer's dream.

Writing a novel is not method acting and I find it easy to step out of it at cocktail hour.

Are you as much of a criminal if you don't act when there's a crime taking place in front of you as you are one of the participants? That was something that I was thinking about a lot because there are many moments in 'Less Than Zero' where horrific things happen and Clay could do something about them, but his passivity stops him.

Bret Easton Ellis

I had no idea that 'Less Than Zero' was going to be read by anyone outside of Los Angeles, and it's - believe me, as the writer of the book I'm somewhat amused and intrigued by the idea that 25 years later it's still out and people are still reading it.
