Stephen King
Do you need someone to make you a paper badge with the word WRITER on it before you can believe you are one? God I hope not.
Stephen King
Did it [cocaine] for about eight years. Not a terribly long time to be an addict I guess, but it is longer than World War II.
Stephen King
Writing is like sex. The more you think about it, the harder it is to do. It's better not to think about it so much and just let it happen.
Stephen King
You can't polish a turd.
Stephen King
The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as long swallows.
