More quotes by James Frey
Most books aren't pure nonfiction or fiction.
James Frey
America was first colonized by Puritans. Most of our earliest immigrants, and many since, have come here in order to practice their religious beliefs as they please. Our culture has always been, and will most likely always be, profoundly influenced by religion.
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
Sometimes skulls are thick. Sometimes hearts are vacant. Sometimes words don't work.
James Frey
On my first day in jail, a three hundred pound man named Porterhouse hit me in the back of the head with a metal tray. I was standing in line for lunch and I didn't see it coming. I went down. When I got up, I turned around and started throwing punches. (James Frey, pg.1)
James Frey
There are no categories in contemporary art. There are no rules. Artists are given the freedom to make and create whatever they please and call it whatever they please. I identify with that system, or lack of system, much more than I do the landscape of contemporary publishing.
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 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
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
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
Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don't think you can, hold on.
James Frey
Addicts, as a group, generally score far above average o intelligence tests. Why? You tell me. I guess maybe we're smart enough to have figured out how shitty things are and we decide addiction is the only way to deal with it.
James Frey
I always wanted to write a book about LA, a big ambitious book. Nobody had ever really done it with LA- treating the city seriously as a major economic and cultural power, as the embodiment of 21st century America.
James Frey
There is no fear. Absolutely no fear. When one lives without fear, one cannot be broken. When one lives with fear one is broken before one begins to live.
James Frey
What's crazy is living your life according to some book written by someone who couldn't imagine what your life would be like.
James Frey
I look at pastries and cakes, tarts and pies. My body craves sugar, always craves sugar. Years of alcohalism and the high level of sugar in alcohal created the craving, which I feed with candy and soda.
James Frey
That's what ever great writer, I believe, has done over the course of time - is they've figured out new ways of telling the same stories.
James Frey
And as ridiculous as it may sound, sometimes all any of us needs in life is for someone to hold our hand and walk next to us.
James Frey
There is emotion in the hug, and there is respect and a form of love. Emotion that comes from honesty, respect that comes from challenge, and the form of love that exists between people whose minds have touched, whose hearts have touched, whose souls have touched. Our minds touched. Our hearts touched. Our souls touched. We separate.
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
