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
But that's part of faith. Believing and knowing despite what other people say, and despite what the world might think of your beliefs.
James Frey
I stand, walk over to him, sit down on his bed, put my arms around him, hug him. He hugs me back strong and I can feel the shame coming through his arms. I am a Criminal and he is a Judge and I am white and he is black, but at this moment none of that matters. He is a man who needs a friends and I can be his friend.
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
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
You only live once, buy Picassos whenever possible.
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
It's been great getting better with you.
James Frey
Being an unpublished novelist has about as much social acceptability as being a shopping bag lady.
James Frey
The promise of eternal life makes people forsake the life they're given.
James Frey
But we are what we are, and humans will always hate.
James Frey
Words can't say this. The one word love means too little for what it is. It means everything and that is still not enough.
James Frey
To write a damn good thriller, you need a killer attitude.
James Frey
The wounds that never heal can only be mourned alone.
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
I love the process of being alone in a room.
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
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
Dreams can come true there [Los Angeles]in ways impossible anywhere else, and they can get destroyed as well.
James Frey
Most books aren't pure nonfiction or fiction.
James Frey
I'm a writer. I never expected to be recognised on the street. I never expected to get that kind of coverage, good or bad. I never expected to sell as many books as I have.
