More quotes by Stephen King
What you don’t know, you can’t tell. Or made to tell.
Stephen King
Because things like this you can only ssay once. And you either get it wrong or right, it's the end either way, because it's too hard to ever try to say again.
Stephen King
Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes. The object of fiction isn't grammatical correctness but to make the reader welcome and then tell a story... To make him/her forget, whenever possible, that he/she is reading a story at all.
Stephen King
After the 9/11 apocalypse happened in New York City, people, particularly New Yorkers, who breathed in the ash, or saw the results of that, have a tendency to keep seeing echoes and having flashbacks to it.
Stephen King
It's dialogue that gives your cast their voices, and is crucial in defining their characters.
Stephen King
Say what you mean. Say what you see. Make a photograph, if you can, for the reader.
Stephen King
Relief loosens tongues beyond measure.
Stephen King
The books are always there, just the way you wrote them. The plays often don`t turn out the way you wanted them to because in the theater, you`re always involved with collaborators and they don`t always see the work the way you do.
Stephen King
Readers have a loyalty that cannot be matched anywhere else in the creative arts, which explains why so many writers who have run out of gas can keep coasting anyway, propelled on to the bestseller lists by the magic words AUTHOR OF on the covers of their books.
Stephen King
My books depend on someone in danger, putting pieces together and figuring things out. They do a lot of thinking, and that gets lost in the movie.
Stephen King
Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.
Stephen King
I didn't want to even stand next to any high rise building as long as I lived... I didn't even want to go over a bridge.
Stephen King
The worst advice? 'Don't listen to the critics.' I think that you really ought to listen to the critics, because sometimes they're telling you something is broken that you can fix.
Stephen King
I think you're a taker. You've always been one. It's like God left some part of you out when He built you inside of me.
Stephen King
I believe most people are essentially good. I know that I am. It's you I'm not entirely sure of.
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
She felt like someone who drowns remembering what it was like to still be on the boat, so calm and at ease, so carelessly safe
Stephen King
I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs, and I will shout it from the rooftops.
Stephen King
Bloom never pissed me off because there are critics out there, and he's one of them, who take their ignorance about popular culture as a badge of intellectual prowess.
Stephen King
When I gave up dope and alcohol, my immediate feeling was 'I've saved my life, but there'll be a price because I'll have nothing that buzzes me any more'. But I enjoyed my kids. My wife loved me and I loved her. And eventually the writing came back and I discovered that the writing was enough. Stupid thing is that probably it always had been.
