I stand, walk over to him, sit down on his bed, put my arms around him, hug him. He hugs me back strong and I can feel the shame coming through his arms. I am a Criminal and he is a Judge and I am white and he is black, but at this moment none of that matters. He is a man who needs a friends and I can be his friend.

I go to my Room and I drink and I smoke some cigarettes and I think about her. I drink and I smoke and I think about her and at a certain point blackness comes and my memory fails me.

I feel strong. Not strong enough to face myself, but strong enough to keep going.
James Frey
Image
The past doesn't matter. People cling to it because it allows them to ignore the present.
James Frey

...we got this gift of life and we got it one time and we gonna get hurt in it and be hurt going through it and the only thing that'll make that hurt better or hurt less is love.

I'm just going to write my books and do my work and release it. Let the world decide what it is, and if it's any good or not.
James Frey
Image
What someone calls my books is irrelevant to me. I consider them works of art and rules and categories and labels mean nothing.
