I Live in the American Gardens building on West 81st'Street, on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old.
I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine.
In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now.
After a remove the icepack, I use a deep-pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser.
Then a honey-almond body scrub.
And on the face, an exfoliating gel-scrub.
Then I apply an herb mint facial masque, which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.
I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older.
Then moisturize, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. Some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me.
Only an entity - something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze...
And you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours... And maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable.
I simply am not there.

Psychotherapists are people who have learned to get along with their insanity better than others.
