More quotes by James Patterson
I fell into a deep sleep tucked in that little cocoon, a deeper sleep than I might of had in years. Right up until someone kicked me and said Gotcha!
James Patterson
I love movies and I like a lot of good television. At the end of the project, I don't care if they changed [it from the book], I just want to look at it and go, I loved that. That really turned out well.

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.

James Patterson
If Fang is in any way harmed while I'm gone-if he gets a hangnail-you won't see another morning. Are we clear on that?
James Patterson
What are we but our stories?

You're just here for the ride. For the incredible, indescribable Maximum Ride. --Max's Voice
James Patterson
Did you know that wasn’t me, the other Max?” I asked. “Yeah.” “When?” “Right away.” “How?” I persisted. “We look identical. She even had identical scars and scratches. She was wearing my clothes. How could you tell us apart?” He turned to me and grinned, making my world brighter. “She offered to cook breakfast.

Do we have any chlorine? It seems to be kind of explosive when mixed with other stuff. Like what, your socks? No, we don't have chlorine. No swimming pool.
James Patterson
My favorite books are actually very complicated - 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', 'Ulysses'.
James Patterson
I whirled around and saw no one. No psychotic mad scientists, anyway. Jackpot, Max! Jackpot! It was was Fang, and he was giggling hysterically. For those of you just joining us, Fang doesn't giggle. Especially hysterically. So for a second, this seemed like one of the weirder dreams of recent days.

Don't depend on others to give you strength....Find it within yourself

James Patterson
Yeah sure, why not? i said, making a mental note to get a good look at his wings. For all I knew, they were remote-controlled and duct taped to his back.
James Patterson
