You should at all times be showing a well-motivated character overcoming obstacles in pursuit of a goal.
James Frey
Image
I am essentially optimistic. Being alive is incredible. Life is extraordinary and beautiful. It can be hard and sad and terrifying, but it's all we've got.
James Frey
Image
Fear, he said, ran all of our lives. Fear, he said, after religion, was the most destructive force in the world.
James Frey
Image
The greatest rules of dramatic writing are conflict, conflict, conflict.
James Frey
Image
I love the process of being alone in a room.
James Frey
Image
Whatever hardships there have been in my life I still live in a very privileged position. Fear is not knowing where your next meal is coming from. Fear is seeing a child get hurt. Fear is watching someone you love waste away. Fear is knowing you are going to die yourself. But there's no fear in what I do. I write books.

Sometimes skulls are thick. Sometimes hearts are vacant. Sometimes words don't work.
James Frey
Image
I have a great amount of confidence and faith in my abilities to write. There are other areas of my life where I'm not as confident, and have not as much faith, but when it comes down to writing and working, I don't worry about it. I trust myself to get it right.

What is the meaning of life?Whatever you want it to be.

I'm a writer. I never expected to be recognised on the street. I never expected to get that kind of coverage, good or bad. I never expected to sell as many books as I have.
James Frey
Image
Words can't say this. The one word love means too little for what it is. It means everything and that is still not enough.
James Frey
Image
I turn and I slowly walk away and I don't look back. It has always been a fault of mine, but it is the way I am. I never look back. Never.
James Frey
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I think as an artist or a writer it's OK to want to control your own work.
James Frey
Image
Being an unpublished novelist has about as much social acceptability as being a shopping bag lady.
James Frey
Image
I often think of death. True. Suicide is a reasonable option. True. My sins are unpardonable. I stare at the question. My sins are unpardonable. I stare at the question. My sins are unpardonable. I leave it blank.
James Frey
Image
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
Image
Sometimes I really want to believe in God. I really admire, in a lot of ways, people who have faith. I think it must be a beautiful thing to believe.

The past doesn't matter. People cling to it because it allows them to ignore the present.
