More quotes by 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
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
I meet a third man he's an old man he trips in the street he falls and I help him up, walk him to the curb. He shakes my hand says keep the faith, young man. I ask him what he means, he says keep running and don't let them catch you.
James Frey
Practice not wanting, desiring, judging, doing, fighting, knowing. Practice just being. Everything will fall into place.
James Frey
He pulled out turned west and started driving towards the glow it was thousands of miles away, he started driving towards the glow.
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
Most books aren't pure nonfiction or fiction.
James Frey
I love the process of being alone in a room.
James Frey
Sometimes skulls are thick. Sometimes hearts are vacant. Sometimes words don't work.
James Frey
I don't care what people come at me with. People have come at me with everything you could imagine. I could care less about that.
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
Life, not death, is the great mystery you must confront.
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'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
I skip the introduction. If the book goes in the trash, I want it to go because of my thoughts on it, not because of some Asshole's thoughts who wrote the introduction.
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
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
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
What is the meaning of life?Whatever you want it to be.
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.
