“James Patterson is my favorite author. Very talented. I picked up reading from jail... I realized how powerful reading was in jail. That's why some of my verses be so descriptive. Thank James Patterson for that.”

“I don't think the author should make the reader do that much work to remember who somebody is.”

“There's something to be said for an author who clearly respects a reader.”
