Did Chuck really say this? If so, where?

Someone posted this quote on Facebook and attributed it to Chuck. I've searched trying to find the source and am only finding the quote over and over again (damn you, Tumblr!) with no actual attribution to where it comes from.

Quote:
"That's the best revenge of all: happiness. Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good fucking life."

Was that really Chuck? When/where did he say/write it? Is it in one of his later books?

Thanks for any help!

Maybe he said it in that particular fashion, but I've heard that in a very close, but not exactly the same wording, way. I seriously doubt Chuck came up with it.

"The best revenge is living well" is a pretty common phrase (and words to live by).

He probably said it in an interview or something. But, yeah, like Alecia and Chris said, it's a pretty common phrase or thought, he's just re-worded it to make it sound all Palahniukian.

I think he said it in this video, but I'm not positive. It's worth a watch either way!
