More quotes by James Patterson
A lot of writers fall in love with their sentences or their construction of sentences, and sometimes that's great, but not everybody is Gabriel Garcia Marquez or James Joyce. A lot of people like to pretend that they are, and they wind up not giving people a good read or enlightening them.
James Patterson
The subject for a lot of non-fiction is very emotional, but if you read it, it's the most boring, dry stuff. I wanted 'Torn Apart' to be extremely accessible and readable.
James Patterson

James Patterson

Part 3 BACK TO SCHOOL (THE NORMAL KIND)
James Patterson
Always expect the unexpected. Right around Thanksgiving, when the new Alex Cross will be out. It's called Four Blind Mice and it's a pretty amazing story about several murders inside the military.
James Patterson
Boy, you just can't kill people like you used to.
James Patterson
He grinned at me so unexpectedly I forgot to flap for a second and dropped several feet. You looove me, he crooned smugly. Holding his arms out wide, he added, You love me this much.
James Patterson
I love to tell stories. It's a delight for me.
James Patterson
I don't damsel well. Distress, I can do. Damseling? Not so much.
James Patterson
If you're in the room, I want to be next to you. If you're gone, I think about you. You're who I want to talk to. In a fight, I want you at my back. When we're together the sun is shining. When we're apart, everything is in shades of gray.
James Patterson
I write larger than life. It's what I do.
James Patterson
I don't get a chance to be funny with the thrillers. I like to be funny, and I think I am really funny. So with 'Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life', it was fun to let loose.
