James Frey Zitate
seite 3

James Christopher Frey ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller, dessen scheinbar autobiografische Romane A Million Little Pieces und My Friend Leonard in den USA zu Bestsellern wurden. In beiden Büchern geht es um Drogenkonsum und Alkoholsucht. Freys Behauptungen über sein Leben als Suchtkranker und seine angeblichen Konflikte mit dem Gesetz wurden Anfang 2006 Gegenstand einer umfangreichen Kontroverse, als die Internetseite The Smoking Gun nachweisen konnte, dass für fast keines seiner Erlebnisse irgendein Beleg existiert. Nach diesem Skandal um gefälschte „Authentizität“ schlug Frey künstlerisch einen neuen Weg ein und schrieb den collagenhaften, formal ambitionierten Los-Angeles-Roman Bright Shiny Morning, der 2008 erschien.

James Frey: Zitate auf Englisch

“He starts to break and seeing him start to break makes me start to break and I don't want that. He steps forward and puts his arms around me and he hugs me and I hug him and it feels good and strong and pure and real. This is my Brother, my Blood, the only thing in this World created from which I am created from, the Person in this World who knows me best, the Person who would miss me most if I was gone. That he cared enough to come here and that he cares enough to nearly break in front of me means something, but in the end, I know that it means only so much.”

“I think it's bullshit. People don't want to accept the responsibility for their own weakness so they place the blame on something that they're not responsible for, like a disease or genetics. As far as studies go, I could prove I was from Mars if you gave me enough time and enough resources.”

“I was weak and pathetic and I couldn't control myself. An explanation, especially a bullshit one, doesn't alter the circumstances. I need to change, I have to change, and at this point, change is my only option, unless I am ready to die. All that matters is that I make myself something else and someone else for the future.”

“I don't blame you for this and I don't think there's anything you could have done to stop it. I am what I am, which is an Alcoholic and a Drug Addict and a Criminal, and I am whats I am because I made myself so. You did the best you could with me, and you loved me the best you could, and that's all I could have ever asked for from you. I have no excuses for what I've done or for who I am or for what I put you though all these years.”

“All of us started out 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. Though we are here at this Clinic trying to find our way back, we all know that most of us will never get there. Things like the fight allow us to dream, and take us away from here, and allow us to imagine what the normal World must be like and how normal people must live in it.”

“In the face of surviving long enough to survive in the long term, there is no goal that comes to mind that means anything to me. I could write Survive, but I would rather hold that word in my heart than write it on some fucking board.”
