More quotes by Stephen King
Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, make like a tree and leave, imitate an amoeba and split.
Stephen King
I don't really map anything out. I just let it happen [while writing]. But once it happens, it's always there. If it's laid, it's played. If I get to page 300 and it's not working, I junk it.
Stephen King
It's not the pain I'm afraid of I know about the pain. What I'm afraid of is the end of this small, sweet dream.
Stephen King

Stephen King
We all do what we can, and it has to be good enough, and if it isn't good enough, it has to do.
Stephen King

Stephen King
Making people believe the unbelievable is no trick it's work... Belief and reader absorption come in the details: An overturned tricycle in the gutter of an abandoned neighborhood can stand for everything.
Stephen King
When you're six, most of your Bingo balls are still floating around in the draw-tank.
Stephen King
By its very nature, film is supposed to be an accessible medium to everybody.
Stephen King
The harder you had to work to open a package, the less you ended up caring about what was inside.
Stephen King
And then the world exploded.
Stephen King
Although emotionally delicate and eminently bruisable, teenagers are short on empathy. That comes later in life, if it comes at all.
Stephen King
Time is a face on the water.
Stephen King
I go where the story leads. And, sometimes, it is a little bit outrageous. And I relish that. I sort of want to be as much on the edge as I can.
Stephen King
I'm one of those people who doesn't really know what he thinks until he writes it down.
