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

More quotes by James Frey
You don't have to follow anybody's rules.
James Frey
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.
James Frey
Being an unpublished novelist has about as much social acceptability as being a shopping bag lady.
James Frey
Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don't think you can, hold on.
James Frey
I can run fast when I want to run fast, and I've always been good at destroying things.
James Frey
All of us started normal. All of us started out as functioning human beings with the potential to do almost anything we wanted, but somewhere along the paths of our lives, we got lost.
James Frey
Dreams can come true there [Los Angeles]in ways impossible anywhere else, and they can get destroyed as well.
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.

You only live once, buy Picassos whenever possible.

Leonard asks me if there's anything I need to know before he dies, I think about it for a minute, turn to him, say what's the meaning of life, Leonard? He laughs, says that's an easy one, my son, it's whatever you want it to be.
James Frey
She made me feel better than I have ever felt, better than I imagined I could feel, and it scared me, it scared me to the point of paralysis.
James Frey
Fear, he said, ran all of our lives. Fear, he said, after religion, was the most destructive force in the world.
James Frey
In life we often look to others for simple, but difficult answers, despite the fact that we have those answers ourselves.
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
What is the meaning of life?Whatever you want it to be.
James Frey
The feeling of arms around me, of love in my heart, it was more powerful than any of the negativity I knew was existing in the world for me. That feeling of love killed it all.
James Frey
But we are what we are, and humans will always hate.
James Frey
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.
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
The promise of eternal life makes people forsake the life they're given.
