Gone Girl I am not interested in being set up. I need to be ambushed, caught unawares... I'm too self conscious otherwise. I feel myself trying to be charming and then I realise I'm obviously trying to be charming, and then I try to be even more charming to make up for the fake charm, and then I've basically turned into Liza Minnelli: I'm dancing in tights and sequins, begging you to love me.' Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl
