Frey Quotes

(February 2006) Look at what happened to James Frey in the last two weeks. That`s a great book and so is the follow-up book. And just because his publisher chose to say that these were memoirs, it took it out of being a work of fiction, a great work of fiction and very well-written to this guy having to go be sucker punched on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (1986) by one of the most powerful women in television just to grind her own ax about it. Hey Oprah, you had President (Bill Clinton) on your show and if this prick didn`t lie about a couple of things I`m going to set myself on fire right now. James Frey is a writer, okay? He can write whatever he wants. It`s fiction, and it`s just hard, it`s just shameful how he was treated in some of these things. It`s just shameful and it`s just not fair and not right . . .

I`m really klutzy. I`m always tripping over stuff. I`m always trying to not walk into the camera. I was shooting a scene in a TV show and I kept sneezing. Glenn Frey of the Eagles was opposite me, and when we were filming, he said, "Can we please stop? Amber needs a Kleenex." That was really embarrassing, and I don`t mind sharing.

We told the kids we weren`t going to play any zone, no gimmicks. We wanted to chase Scott (Kin) and Justin (Frey) all over the floor. We did a nice job.

Publishing is tough. As a writer, if I`d murdered my family, that`d be a great gift, not to my family maybe, but definitely to my book. Oprah`s defense (of Frey) just doesn`t work. You can`t say a memoir is 90% true. Which 90%? It`s cheating.
