“Here’s how I got to meet Tom Cruise. There was a cover story in the New York Times Magazine about me. Tom Cruise read it and called one of his agents at Creative Artists. He wanted to talk to James Patterson. I happened to be out in L.A., and Creative Artists (they’re also my agents, though I’m on a much lower rung than Tom Cruise) reached me in my room at the Peninsula. ‘Tom Cruise wants to meet you.’ … I hopped in the town car and was driven to an imposing front gate of a big house in Beverly Hills. The driver leaned back and said, ‘Oh, hey, Tom Cruise lives here.’ Tom Cruise stood in the driveway to meet me. He had me at hello.” — From ‘James Patterson: The Stories Of My Life‘ by James Patterson
