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
Image
Say what you mean. Say what you see. Make a photograph, if you can, for the reader.
Stephen King
Image
You know what talent is? The curse of expectation. As a kid you have to deal with that, beat it somehow. If you can write, you think God put you on earth to blow Shakespeare away. Or if you can paint, maybe you think--I did--that God put you on earth to blow your father away.
Stephen King
Image
It don't matter if you believe in God Nick, he believes in you.
Stephen King
Image
But it's hard for a man to give up all his pleasures, even when they don't pleasure him no more.
Stephen King
Image
Outlines are the last resource of bad fiction writers who wish to God they were writing masters' theses.
Stephen King
Image
When it comes to the past, everyone writes fiction.
Stephen King
Image
Guys like Henry and his buddies were an accident waiting to happen the little kids' version of floods or tornadoes or gallstones.
Stephen King
Image
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
Image
The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted.
Stephen King
Image
Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.
Stephen King
Image
I think the best stories always end up being about the people rather than the event, which is to say character-driven.
Stephen King
Image
Research can only present data about the past. No one seriously believes that people's answers to hypothetical questions about the future accurately represent their future behaviour they merely represent a current attitude, which may or may not be translated into future behaviour.
Stephen King
Image
I'm still in love with what I do, with the idea of making things up, so hours when I write always feel like very blessed hours to me.
Stephen King
Image
Art is the concrete artifact of faith and expectation, the realization of a world that would otherwise be little more than a veil of pointless consciousness stretched over a gulf of mystery.
Stephen King
Image
Writing's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.
Stephen King
Image
Crying was like pissing everything out on the ground.
Stephen King
Image
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

They're animals, all right. But why are you so goddam sure that makes us human beings?
Stephen King
Image
City life is no life for a country man for such a man that life is a kind of damnation in itself.
