“Jimmy exuded such a sensuality, an aura. It was lush, a kind of purity. There was no badness in him. He even smelled good, even when perspiring.”

9.30.55
He didn’t show you very much. He’d challenge you to find him. Then when you’d found him, he’d still make you guess. It was an endless game with him. The thing people missed about Jimmy was his mischievousness. He was the most constantly mischievous person I think I’ve ever met. Full of tricks, full of magic, full of outrageousness. - Stewart Stern

Jimmy and I started talking very personally. A couple of times before this I had seen him be cold or abrupt with people - but these things aways ended in something causing pain for him. He was always putting people through a series of circus hoops before letting them get close. He was like Marlon: he ate people - consumed all they knew, their mannerisms, all he could use as an artist. Everyone was a source for his creativity. He really wanted to be a participant in life. But he was constantly fucking himself over by behavior designed to alienate people.

There really isn’t an opportunity for greatness in this world. We are impaled on a crock of conditioning. A fish that is in water has no choice that he is. Genius would have it that he swim in sand…We are fish and we drown. — James Dean
