Quote

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.

I believe most people are essentially good. I know that I am. It's you I'm not entirely sure of.
Stephen King
Image
Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness.

When I was a kid I believed everything I was told, everything I read, and every dispatch sent out by my own overheated imagination. This made for more than a few sleepless nights, but it also filled the world I lived in with colors and textures I would not have traded for a lifetime of restful nights.

Fantasy has a better chance of lasting than a lot of other things. The Hobbit and the Narnia books, they seem to get handed down father to son, mother to daughter. Because they're set in a fantasy world, they can remain relevant.

Kill you all! The clown was laughing and screaming. Try to stop me and I'll kill you all! Drive you crazy and then kill you all! You can't stop me!

I don't ask myself, Well, does God exist or does God not exist? I choose to believe that God exists, and therefore I can say, God, I can't do this by myself. Help me not to take a drink today. Help me not to take a drug today. And that works fine for me.

There may be fairies, there may be elves, but God helps those who help themselves.

...you need openness and inability to do anything other than get to the point.

I think of fear as a survival function, and in the stories that I write, the only thing that I've tried to do is provide people with nightmares which are really safe places to put those fears for a while because you can say afterwards that uh, that, that well it was all just make-believe anyway, so I just took my emotions for a walk.

The wonder is that so many OCDs manage to live productive lives, just the same. They work, they eat (often not enough or too much, it's true), they go to the movies, they make love to their girlfriends and boyfriends, their wives and husbands... and all the time those birds are there, clinging to them and pecking away little bits of flesh.

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

He removed his unvaluable valuables and dumped his shirt, pants, and skivvies into a letter slot.

No, it's not a very good story - its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside.

I've been typed as a horror writer, and I've always said to people, I don't care what you call me as long as the checks don't bounce and the family gets fed.

Time apparently did nothing but blunt grief’s sharpest edge so that it hacked rather than sliced.

I like to hang out clothes on windy days. Sometimes that's all I feel like. A sheet on a line.

The shuddering would not stop. The pain was like the end of the world. He thought: There comes a point when the very discussion of pain becomes redundant. No one knows there is pain the size of this in the world. No one. It is like being possessed by demons.
