More quotes by James Patterson
Plus her mom was so awesome. She was strict about some things—don’t leave your socks lying around—but so not strict about other things, like calling the cops about my bullet wound.

I was always a good student, but I didn't read that much until I was 18 and I was working my way through college.

Fang, fang. I love you. I looooove you. I love you thiiiiiiiiiis much!
James Patterson
what was fang going to do BLOG about max throwing herself into space so she wouldn't have to kiss him again? NO instead he smashed his fist against the cave wall then grimaced at the pain and stupidity seeing his bloodied knuckles
James Patterson
I'm going to turn fifteen tomorrow, i said, warming to the idea. It's high time. I can't remember when i turned fourteen. (said by Max) If you get to be fifteen, then i get to be fifteen! Iggy sounded indignant. i looked at Fang. Wanna be fifteen? His smile melted me. Yeah.

One of the nice things about books as opposed to television and movies to some extent is it's not a passive entertainment. People really do get involved, and they do create, and they do have their own visions of what different characters look like and what should happen. It's great - it means their brains are working.

fang will be the first to die

I have a number of writers I work with regularly. I write an outline for a book. The outlines are very specific about what each scene is supposed to accomplish.
James Patterson
When I wanted information, it was silent when I didn't want to hear from it, it got chatty. It was alost as irritating as Fang.
James Patterson
Okay, okay, okay. I understood that pushing the elevator button over and over again would not make the elevator appear sooner. But I couldn't help myself
James Patterson
When I write I pretend I'm telling a story to someone in the room and I don't want them to get up until I'm finished.
James Patterson
Keep this in mind: there are no coincidences.

Six Seconds should be Rick Mofina's breakout thriller. It moves like a tornado.
James Patterson
I don't believe in lecturing people. It's much more effective to present reading as a fun, rewarding pastime.
James Patterson
So you have your price.... Your soul for a cookie.
James Patterson
I want to do it too! (sitting motionless) Nudge: Nope, you stand out like a fart in a church. Max: (muttering) Appropriately enough. Iggy: What about me? (stands still) Max: No, you're visible. Iggy: Am not! Max: (throws a pinecone at him) Could I do that if I wouldn't see you?
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.
James Patterson
Why was the blind guy playing with matches, you ask? Because he's good at it. Anything to do with fire, igniting things, exploding things, things with fuses, wicks, accelerants . . . Iggy's your man. It's one of those good/bad things.
James Patterson
For example, you go to Fuji, and there are no animal attacks. Why? And I think that gets you into the world of The Walking Dead or Lost. Humans start doing some weird stuff.
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
