Chuck Palahniuk Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. February 21, 1962
Birthday: February 21
So often with beginning writers, the story that they want to start with is the most important story of their life - my molestation, my this, my horrible drug addiction - they want to tell that most important story, and they don't have the skills to tell it yet, so it ends up becoming a comedy. A powerful story told poorly becomes funny, it just makes people laugh behind their hands.
