More quotes by Stephen King
You've got to do something to fill up your day. And I can only play so much guitar and watch so many TV shows. It fulfills me. There are two things about it I like: It makes me happy, and it makes other people happy.
Stephen King
No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.
Stephen King
As infants, our first victory comes in grasping some bit of the world, usually our mother's fingers. Later we discover that the world, and the things of the world, are grasping us, and have been all along.
Stephen King
I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries.
Stephen King
Every liberal in the country must watch Fox News for one year, and every conservative in the country must watch MSNBC for one year. (Middle-of-the-roaders could stick with CSI)
Stephen King

Stephen King
We lie best when we lie to ourselves.
Stephen King
You can't polish a turd.

Stephen King
Bad chances were better than no chances.
Stephen King
Talent is a dreadfully cheap commodity, cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work and study a constant process of honing. Talent is a dull knife that will cut nothing unless it is wielded with great force.
Stephen King
Life turns on a dime.
Stephen King
Don't look back, never look back. How often do people tell themselves that after an experience that is exceptionally good (or exceptionally bad?)? Often, I suppose. And the advice usually goes unheeded. Humans were built to look back that's why we have tat swivel joint in our necks.
Stephen King
Until that afternoon in October four years ago, I hadn't known dogs could scream.
Stephen King
In small towns people scent the wind with noses of uncommon keenness.
Stephen King
Anywhere in New York, anywhere in the country, somewhere there's going to be a Coke sign. People identify with Coke. You can write a novel about New York and people from the country will read it if they feel that you've made them familiar with New York.
Stephen King
I think what you do is, you keep your sensors open. And it's - the more that you do the job, the more you come to understand in a kind of intuitive way that you're always - you know, your radar is on. And the thing is going around and around and around. And it's not picking up any blips.
Stephen King
Ninety-five percent of people who walk the earth are simply inert. One percent are saints, and one percent are assholes. The other three percent are people who do what they say they can do.
Stephen King
Why does everyone think that I am a cruel and insensitive man? I mean, come on, I have kids... on my desk in little jars!
Stephen King
How life did imitate art sometimes. And the cruder the art, the closer the imitation.
Stephen King
