“He would be bothered when someone would say he was mean and disrespectful. Because actually, he wasn’t. They took silence to mean he cared little or nothing for them. They didn’t have the insight, or didn’t care to exercise the insight, in knowing that he was a shy boy that just didn’t know how to approach them. Instead of making an attempt to approach him, they just, well, they just wrote him off.”
Lew Bracker on James Dean
From The James Dean Story, 1957
THIS IS STILL ONE OF THE FUNNIEST AND MOST ACCURATE THINGS IN MY LIFE.
That was the way that I decided to go on with my life. Not looking for anything, not necessarily being open to anything, and only being open to the idea that, if I found someone who would never try to change me, that would be the only person I could fall in love with. Because, you know, I was in love with my life.
