Reality means you live until you die. The real truth is nobody wants reality. – Chuck Palahniuk
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. – Chuck Palahniuk
I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. Thats the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about. – Chuck Palahniuk
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
