    Famous quotes by James Patterson:

    "When the Wind Blows"
    "he lives to talk to me."
    "What you have to understand is that Michael's film isn't really a documentary. It's a portrait,"
    "Art galleries aren't going to be hitting on all cylinders for a while. I can't imagine anybody's first thought being... art."
    "I think one of the best things about the film is that you get to see Eggleston taking his photographs, and then you get to see what the photograph looks like."
    "It cuts through the middle person, ... and it might make a connection between the purchaser and artist."
    "Sundown had bloodied the horizon over the uneven rooftops of South Boston. Birds were perched on every roof and seemed to be watching the girl walking slowly below. - Cradle and All"
    "Finally something comes on, ... To me, you know, I thought it was Elvis instantly. The hair stood up on my arms and stuff. I turned around and said, 'Yes, that's Elvis right there.'"
    "I'm glad that we came to terms for the upcoming season, ... I am looking forward to getting back out on the ice in a Havoc jersey. We worked hard last season and didn't get the results we wanted so we need to get Huntsville back to winning championships."
    "I'm glad that we came to terms for the upcoming season. I am looking forward to getting back out on the ice in a Havoc jersey. We worked hard last season and didn't get the results we wanted so we need to get Huntsville back to winning championships."
