More quotes by Stephen King
And if you are honest about the words coming out of your characters' mouths, you'll find that you've let yourself in for a fair amount of criticism.
Stephen King
I'm afraid of all kinds of things. I'm afraid of failing at whatever story I'm writing - that it won't come up for me, or that I won't be able to finish it.
Stephen King
She is a cat with a burning tail, an ant under a microscope, a fly about to lose its wings to the curious plucking fingers of a third-grader on a rainy day, a game for bored children with no bodies and the whole universe at their feet.
Stephen King
Love, the simplest, strongest, and most unforgiving of all emotions.
Stephen King
I write about rats because they scare the hell out of me. I think we tend to write out our phobias.
Stephen King
The kids accepted my drinking as a part of life. Not a particularly pernicious part. I didn't beat up on them. Basically I don't think I was so different from a lot of dads who have three or four martinis when they get in from work, wine with dinner and so on.
Stephen King
I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.
Stephen King
The town kept its secrets, and the Marsten House brooded over it like a ruined king.
Stephen King
The stories we hear in our childhood are the ones we remember all our lives.
Stephen King
I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts.
Stephen King
You cannot condemn a man for what may only be a figment of your own imagination.
Stephen King
Life's simplest answers are often the easiest to overlook.
Stephen King
I write in the mornings, in the bright daylight. But I get most of my good ideas after the sun has gone down and the dark is on the land.
Stephen King
Showrunning is a thing where you have to work with tons of different people. You have to schmooze people, you have to talk to network people. I don't want to do any of that.
Stephen King
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. When you find something at which you have talent, you do that thing (what ever it is) until your fingers bleed or your eyes pop out of your head.
Stephen King
The only religions I don't like are the ones that insist their God is bigger than your God.
Stephen King
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Stephen King
Love is what moves the world, I've always thought...it is the only thing which allows men and women to stand in a world where gravity always seems to want to pull them down...bring them low...and make them crawl.
Stephen King
Nothing is ever lost, Sarah. Nothing that can't be found.
Stephen King
All you need to do is hold on tight...and believe.
Stephen King
