What someone calls my books is irrelevant to me. I consider them works of art and rules and categories and labels mean nothing.

I can run fast when I want to run fast, and I've always been good at destroying things.

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.

I feel strong. Not strong enough to face myself, but strong enough to keep going.

I hope nobody took the Razzle Dazzle Rose.

In life we often look to others for simple, but difficult answers, despite the fact that we have those answers ourselves.
James Frey

There are places from which you cannot return. There is damage that can be irreparable.

I say to myself if you believe deeply in your heart you must defy, and if you are willing to pay for your defiance, you must always do it, even though the pain may be much. Too many times in our lives we do not do it, and we pay even more.

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.

There is, though, nothing that prepares us for the worst things in our life. There is nothing you can do to stop the shock, or buffer the pain.
James Frey
Image
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
Image
Sometimes I really want to believe in God. I really admire, in a lot of ways, people who have faith. I think it must be a beautiful thing to believe.

You should at all times be showing a well-motivated character overcoming obstacles in pursuit of a goal.

Whatever hardships there have been in my life I still live in a very privileged position. Fear is not knowing where your next meal is coming from. Fear is seeing a child get hurt. Fear is watching someone you love waste away. Fear is knowing you are going to die yourself. But there's no fear in what I do. I write books.

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.

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.

Love is love. It doesn't matter how or who you love. I don't believe the messiah would condemn gay men and women.
