More quotes by 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
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
Faith is the fool's excuse.
James Frey
Are we biology or God or something higher? I know my heart beats and I listen to it. The beat is biology, but what is the song?
James Frey
The greatest rules of dramatic writing are conflict, conflict, conflict.

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
There are places from which you cannot return. There is damage that can be irreparable.
James Frey
When I see you, the World stops. It stops and all that exists for me is you and my eyes staring at you. There's nothing else. No noise, no other people, no thoughts or worries, no yesterday, no tomorrow. The World just stops, and it is a beautiful place, and there is only you.
James Frey
For years I supported capital punishment, but I have come to believe that our criminal justice system is incapable of adequately distinguishing between the innocent and guilty. It is reprehensible and immoral to gamble with life and death.
James Frey
Lying became part of my life. I lied if I needed to lie to get something or get out of something
James Frey
You should at all times be showing a well-motivated character overcoming obstacles in pursuit of a goal.
James Frey
Life, not death, is the great mystery you must confront.
James Frey
It's been great getting better with you.

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.
