To live with angels and chase their dreams.

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.

I think men who can cry are strong men
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
Image
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.

Love only brought me lonliness and horror.
James Frey
Image
We know have the power of God in many ways: the atomic bomb, the ability to create life in a test tube, cloning, artificial intelligence.

Image
Dreams can come true there [Los Angeles]in ways impossible anywhere else, and they can get destroyed as well.

I have a great amount of confidence and faith in my abilities to write. There are other areas of my life where I'm not as confident, and have not as much faith, but when it comes down to writing and working, I don't worry about it. I trust myself to get it right.
