Let things be, let yourself be, let everything be and accept it as it is. Nothing more. Nothing less.
James Frey
The point of what I do is that it doesn't really matter what a book or a story is as long it moves you, informs you, challenges you, entertains you, or changes you.
James Frey
Dreams can come true there [Los Angeles]in ways impossible anywhere else, and they can get destroyed as well.
James Frey

On my first day in jail, a three hundred pound man named Porterhouse hit me in the back of the head with a metal tray. I was standing in line for lunch and I didn't see it coming. I went down. When I got up, I turned around and started throwing punches. (James Frey, pg.1)
James Frey

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
Lying became part of my life. I lied if I needed to lie to get something or get out of something
James Frey
I often think of death. True. Suicide is a reasonable option. True. My sins are unpardonable. I stare at the question. My sins are unpardonable. I stare at the question. My sins are unpardonable. I leave it blank.
James Frey
I think men who can cry are strong men
James Frey
