More quotes by James Frey
I don't write with an outline. I don't often know what I'm going to do as I'm writing. And I do everything by feel and by instinct.
James Frey
The promise of eternal life makes people forsake the life they're given.
James Frey
The feeling of arms around me, of love in my heart, it was more powerful than any of the negativity I knew was existing in the world for me. That feeling of love killed it all.
James Frey
I feel strong. Not strong enough to face myself, but strong enough to keep going.
James Frey
I don't care what people come at me with. People have come at me with everything you could imagine. I could care less about that.
James Frey
Fear, he said, ran all of our lives. Fear, he said, after religion, was the most destructive force in the world.
James Frey
Most books aren't pure nonfiction or fiction.
James Frey
I will not allow people to impose rules on me that don't make sense to me. And I live and work very much outside the literary world and the literary system. What they think and what they believe and what their rules are mean nothing to me.
James Frey
I don't speak with proper grammar. I don't speak with dialogue attribution. I don't speak with quotation. I don't care about any of that stuff. It's about rhythm, and it's about what's in their [the character's] head, and what feels more natural. And it's about speed. I want things to move.
James Frey
But all good things come to an end, often a sad angry miserable end. The cause for such an end can usually be whittled down to one of three things: money, sickness, love lost.
James Frey
Sleep is still difficult I sleep for three or four hours a day. Usually sometime in the afternoon. I walk in the cold, keep myself numb. I cry less, and less. (James Frey, pg.88)
James Frey
Every year, at 8:00 PM on the second Saturday of July, hundreds of people gather along a section of Los Angeles rail track to drop their pants and moon passing passenger trains.
James Frey
There is, though, nothing that prepares us for the worst things in our life. There is nothing you can do to stop the shock, or buffer the pain.
James Frey
What is the meaning of life?Whatever you want it to be.
James Frey
You don't have to follow anybody's rules.
James Frey
I love the process of being alone in a room.
James Frey
I try to write books that are different from the books I've already written. I think one of the thing I really try to do is reinvent how a novel can be written.
James Frey
What someone calls my books is irrelevant to me. I consider them works of art and rules and categories and labels mean nothing.
James Frey
I hadn't learned yet that everybody's locked up some way or other. That's how life is we're all imprisoned by something.
James Frey
When something is staring you in the face in your life and you see it with your own two eyes and feel it within your heart only a fool doesn't believe it to be true.
James Frey
