Movie brawls tend to be bloodless and quick.

If there had been zombies on the iceberg when the Titanic hit it, that would have made a much better movie.

While writing, I tend to repeat the same song, endlessly, for thousands of times. This helps me ignore any lyrics, and helps create a consistent mood for each book.

When the 'Fight Club' movie was going into production, I quit my job so I could write full-time.

People said that 'Fight Club' would be impossible to turn into a movie, but I think David Fincher loved that challenge.

My characters tend to be more dynamic because they're reaching that point in their lives where their old way of being is breaking down. They're conflicted by the idea that they don't know what's next. You could call it Kierkegaard's leap of faith, when you get tired of sort of reinventing yourself on a very superficial level.
