Do you ever remember watching Anime late night on Sci-Fi or other local channels? Or maybe the shows that were broadcasted on Nickelodeon? The oldies, the classics, the gems that were hand picked to be brought over for Western Audiences.

>When Christian Bale first asked to meet with you to get your approval for the role, he actually showed up at the restaurant in character. Did that freak you out?
>That was in 1998, I think, when that happened. I didn’t have an issue with Christian Bale doing that at the time, it was just seriously unnerving. You know, even though the book had done well and it was a popular novel, I had not seen people acting like Patrick Bateman or trying to appear like him. There was actually a period there for four or five years after the movie was released where people would come up to me at book signings, and guys would show me [pictures of] their Halloween costumes, and it was them dressed as Patrick Bateman. All over the world, maybe a thousand times it happened. [The meeting with Bale] was before any of that happened, and I was unnerved that I was in a restaurant with someone pretending to be this monster that I created. I just wanted him to stop. I asked him to stop, then he gave me that psychotic stare but finally he did, and it was fine, and then [...] But he was intense! - Bret Easton Ellis on meeting Bale for the first time
