I needed something–the distraction of another life–to alleviate fear.
Bret Easton Ellis Quotes
Are you as much of a criminal if you don't act when there's a crime taking place in front of you as you are one of the participants? That was something that I was thinking about a lot because there are many moments in 'Less Than Zero' where horrific things happen and Clay could do something about them, but his passivity stops him.

About
Bret Easton Ellis was born in Los Angeles, California. He is an American novelist, screenwriter, and short story writer. His works have been translated into 27 languages. He is a self-proclaimed satirist, whose trademark technique, as a writer, is the expression of extreme acts and opinions in an affectless style. Though Ellis made his debut at 21 with the controversial 1985 bestseller Less Than Zero, a zeitgeist novel about wealthy amoral young people in Los Angeles, the work he is most known for is his third novel, 1991's American Psycho. In 2010, Ellis released Imperial Bedrooms, the sequel to his début novel.
