Laughing and Love. They are both drugs.
James Frey
What is the meaning of life?Whatever you want it to be.
James Frey
Most books aren't pure nonfiction or fiction.
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
The promise of eternal life makes people forsake the life they're given.
James Frey
Leonard asks me if there's anything I need to know before he dies, I think about it for a minute, turn to him, say what's the meaning of life, Leonard? He laughs, says that's an easy one, my son, it's whatever you want it to be.
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
Being an unpublished novelist has about as much social acceptability as being a shopping bag lady.
James Frey
Love only brought me lonliness and horror.
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
I wanted to be a writer that had an impact. I wanted, and still I say the same thing, I want to write books that change people's lives, change how we think and live and read and write. I wanna write books that are read in 50 or 100 years.
James Frey
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
...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.
James Frey
A miracle is changing someone's life. Freeing them from whatever bonds them. Giving them the gift of being able to live the way they dream of living.
James Frey
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
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
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
Love is love. It doesn't matter how or who you love. I don't believe the messiah would condemn gay men and women.
James Frey
When I was a little boy, Marvin Hagler was my idol. He got no respect for most of his career. His fighting style was straight ahead. He took every shot thrown at him, and he kept punching back 'til he won. I honestly feel that's how I am. I take big shots from people. But I keep going.

You only live once, buy Picassos whenever possible.
