More From Jay McInerney

I think it's dangerous to think you know what you're writing. i usually don't know, and usually i just discover it in the course of writing. i envy those writers who can outline a beginning, a middle, and end. fitzgerald supposedly did it. john irving does. bret easton ellis does. but for me, the writing itself is the process of discovery. i can't see all that far ahead.
Writing Thinking Envy
I'm really shocked when critics get morally outraged at my fiction because they think i'm condoning what's going on. i never come in as the author and say, "hey, okay. i'm interrupting the narrator here. i'm bret easton ellis, and i'm the author."

New york is the thing that seduced me. new york is the thing that formed me. new york is the thing that deformed me. new york is the thing that perverted me. new york is the thing that converted me. and new york is the thing that i love too.

There are many stories of people didn't set out to make a film that became a classic - the whole process was a disaster, everybody hated each other, the movie itself was a disaster, everybody thought the movie and the script was going to be a piece of crap. look at alfred hitchcock and psycho. nobody wanted to make psycho; it was crap to them. the only person that wanted to make psycho was hitchcock. now, it's considered a classic and a work of art.

Similar Quotes
We like to think of industrialization as being despicable. i don't really know what to make of it. there’s something terribly brittle about it. i suppose i would still prefer to sit under a tree with a picnic basket rather than under a gas pump, but signs and comic strips are interesting as subject matter. there are certain things that are usable, forceful, and vital about commercial art. we're using those things – but we're not really advocating stupidity, international teenagerism, and terrorism.
Art Thinking Interesting
It is not a gain that guilt should be wholly forgotten. on the contrary, it is loss and perdition. but it is a gain to win an inner intensity of heart through a deeper and deeper inner sorrowing over guilt.

If you're an artist, you've got to prove it.
