I'm a girl of extremes. When I love something, I'm like a puppy dog (without all the licking). When I'm cranky, I'm a wasp (like a whole hive of 'em). And when I'm angry, I'm a Mother Bear with a predator after her cubs: Dangerous.

Just because life is hard, and always ends in a bad way, doesn't mean that all stories have to, even if that's what they tell us in school and in the New York Times Review. In fact, it's a good thing that stories are as different as we are, one from another.

James Patterson
In a manner of speaking. As we intend for you to found a dynasty. And that dynasty will rule society until it has progressed enough to- Overthrow the dynasty in a revolutionary, blood filled coup! Iggy said eagerly. We all looked at him. Just saying. He sheepishly took a bite of cookie.

Beware the anger of a patient man.
James Patterson
A lot of things that people think are risky, I don't think are risky. I don't get all that. I think what was really risky for network television was to let cable television to take the summers.

For me, Zoo has always been a fable. It has nothing to do with realism. It's a fable about what man is doing to the world, and the animals have retribution. But in the real world, this would not happen. But in the world of 1984, this kind of thing can happen in a story.
