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

More quotes by James Frey
My life has been like all the lives, long and hard and full of sadness and confusion and horror, a frightening, difficult dream punctuated by brief moments of joy. And as is the case with all people's lives, the moments of joy are never often enough and never long enough.
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
When I was a little boy, Marvin Hagler was my idol. He got no respect for most of his career. His fighting style was straight ahead. He took every shot thrown at him, and he kept punching back 'til he won. I honestly feel that's how I am. I take big shots from people. But I keep going.
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
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 can run fast when I want to run fast, and I've always been good at destroying things.
James Frey
I don't care what people come at me with. People have come at me with everything you could imagine. I could care less about that.
James Frey
Being an unpublished novelist has about as much social acceptability as being a shopping bag lady.
James Frey
I don't write with an outline. I don't often know what I'm going to do as I'm writing. And I do everything by feel and by instinct.
James Frey
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.
James Frey
I think as an artist or a writer it's OK to want to control your own work.
James Frey
What's crazy is living your life according to some book written by someone who couldn't imagine what your life would be like.
James Frey
Sleep is still difficult I sleep for three or four hours a day. Usually sometime in the afternoon. I walk in the cold, keep myself numb. I cry less, and less. (James Frey, pg.88)
James Frey
There is emotion in the hug, and there is respect and a form of love. Emotion that comes from honesty, respect that comes from challenge, and the form of love that exists between people whose minds have touched, whose hearts have touched, whose souls have touched. Our minds touched. Our hearts touched. Our souls touched. We separate.
James Frey
I feel strong. Not strong enough to face myself, but strong enough to keep going.
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
There are places from which you cannot return. There is damage that can be irreparable.
James Frey
I am essentially optimistic. Being alive is incredible. Life is extraordinary and beautiful. It can be hard and sad and terrifying, but it's all we've got.
James Frey
You should at all times be showing a well-motivated character overcoming obstacles in pursuit of a goal.
James Frey
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.
James Frey
