  • Libraries are filled with stories on generations of brutal men, trapped in a cycle of aggression. I wanted to write about the violence of women.
    - Gillian Flynn
  • No one watches 'Taxi Driver' and says, 'Oh, it's a male-oriented film.' No one looks at nine-tenths of the films out there that are headlined by men and say, 'It's a male-oriented film.'
    - Gillian Flynn
  • Women are just as violently minded as men are, but with men, it's taken for granted.
    - Gillian Flynn
  • That's always been part of my goal - to show the dark side of women. Men write about bad men all the time, and they're called antiheroes.
    - Gillian Flynn
  • A theme that has always interested me is how women express anger, how women express violence. That is very much part of who women are, and it's so unaddressed. A vast amount of literature deals with cycles of violence about men, antiheroes. Women lack that vocabulary.
    - Gillian Flynn
  • I think it's a very female trait to want to please men and to want to be considered the Cool Girl. And if you take that to the farthest reach, where you're actually selling yourself out and degrading yourself by doing things you don't actually want to do, only in order for this man to think that you do, that's a very perverse thing.
    - Gillian Flynn
