The strength of film is its accessibility and immediacy. but the strength of books is that freedom to really depict anything you want because people are going to be reading it in private. so, i'm always trying to write with the immediacy and the constant motion of film but i'm also trying to write with the complete freedom of subject matter that books have.

More From Chuck Palahniuk

We depict hatred, but it is to depict that there are more important things. we depict a curse, to depict the joy of liberation.

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

I am sorry to have to introduce the subject of christmas. it is an indecent subject; a cruel, gluttonous subject; a drunken, disorderly subject; a wasteful, disastrous subject; a wicked, cadging, lying, filthy, blasphemous and demoralizing subject. christmas is forced on a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press: on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred; and anyone who looked back to it would be turned into a pillar of greasy sausages.

The rules that i adhere to are the rules of minimalism. and those rules kind of force writing to be more filmic... to have the immediacy and accessibility of film so that the reader really has to fill in a lot of the details.

Academy of motion picture arts and sciences, fellow members of the motion picture industry and honored guests. this is one of the happiest moments of my life, and i want to thank each one of you who had a part in selecting me for one of their awards for your kindness. it has made me feel very, very humble and i shall always hold it as a beacon for anything that i may be able to do in the future. i sincerely hope i shall always be a credit to my race and to the motion picture industry. my heart is too full to tell you just how i feel, and may i say thank you and god bless you.

Reading with an eye towards metaphor allows us to become the person we’re reading about, while reading about them. that’s why there is symbols in books and why your english teacher deserves your attention. ultimately, it doesn’t matter if the author intended the symbol to be there because the job of reading is not to understand the author’s intent. the job of reading is to use stories as a way into seeing other people as a we ourselves.

My first job was baby-sitting. i had a great time because i love kids. sometimes, when i'm having a bad day, i'm like: "oh, you know what? i'm going to chuck it in and become a kindergarten teacher!"

This is the road i have tried to follow as a teacher: living my convictions; being open to the process of knowing and being sensitive to the experience of teaching as an art; being pushed forward by the challenges that prevent me from bureaucratizing my practice; accepting my limitations, yet always conscious of the necessary effort to overcome them and aware that i cannot hide them because to do so would be a failure to respect both my students and myself as a teacher.

Most people you'd tell "i'm gonna be a musician," they'd say, "you're crazy, you're gonna starve, you're gonna be poor, a drug addict, go to jail, you'll never make it, there's too much competition, it's a terrible business," etc. but my chorus teacher in high school said, "you've got what it takes to be a really good professional musician, you should consider it." that was an epiphany for me. so i thought, well, maybe i can help somebody, too.

Money is such an amazing teacher: what you choose to do with your money shows whether you are truly powerful or powerless.
