More quotes by James Frey
Some people think memoirs should be held to a perfect journalistic standard. Some people don't. Obviously I don't. My goal was never to create or to write a perfect journalistic standard of my life. It was always to be as literature.
James Frey
To live with angels and chase their dreams.
James Frey
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
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
There are places from which you cannot return. There is damage that can be irreparable.
James Frey

James Frey
Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don't think you can, hold on.
James Frey
I regretted making a comment about Dave Eggers. I’ve never said anything about McSweeneys except that I admire what it is, and I think it’s great that they keep people interested in literature.
James Frey
Every year, at 8:00 PM on the second Saturday of July, hundreds of people gather along a section of Los Angeles rail track to drop their pants and moon passing passenger trains.
James Frey
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.
James Frey
Sometimes skulls are thick. Sometimes hearts are vacant. Sometimes words don't work.
James Frey
It's the third book of the Bible, called The Final Testament of the Holy Bible.My idea of what the Messiah would be like if he were walking the streets of New York today. What would he believe? What would he preach? How would he live? With who?
James Frey
You should at all times be showing a well-motivated character overcoming obstacles in pursuit of a goal.
James Frey
Practice not wanting, desiring, judging, doing, fighting, knowing. Practice just being. Everything will fall into place.
