More quotes by Stephen King
The writer's original perception of a character or characters may be as erroneous as the reader's.
Stephen King
When I start a story, I don't know where it's going.
Stephen King
I don't want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don't, then you've got, the Army, Iraq, I don't know, something like that. It's, it's not as bright. So, that's my little commercial for that.
Stephen King
I'm seen as somebody who writes for adults because I'm an older man myself. Some of them find me, and a lot of them don't.
Stephen King
Every man or woman who loves Him, they hate Him too, because He's a hard God, a jealous God.
Stephen King
I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.
Stephen King
Semi-automatic s have only two purposes. One is so owners can take them to the shooting range once in a while, yell yeehaw, and get all horny at the rapid fire and the burning vapor spurting from the end of the barrel. Their other use-their only other use-is to kill people.
Stephen King
Anything with the power to make you laugh over thirty years later isn’t a waste of time. I think something like that is very close to immortality.
Stephen King
Most gothics are overplotted novels whose success or failure hinges on the author's ability to make you believe in the characters and partake of the mood.
Stephen King
Our memories have voices, too. Often sad ones that clamor like raised arms in the dark.
Stephen King
Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.
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
Life is like a wheel. Sooner or later, it always come around to where you started again.
Stephen King
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
Stephen King
Lying in the bed that had once held two, Lisey thought alone never felt more lonely than when you woke up and discovered you still had the house to yourself. That you and the mice in the walls were the only ones still breathing.
Stephen King
My mother was a reader, and she read to us. She read us Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when I was six and my brother was eight I never forgot it.
Stephen King
The essential and defining characteristic of childhood is not the effortless merging of dream and reality, but only alienation. There are no words for childhood's dark turns and exhalations. A wise child recognizes it and submits to the necessary consequences. A child who counts the cost is a child no longer.
Stephen King
I'm one of those people who doesn't really know what he thinks until he writes it down.
Stephen King
I wasn't a social drinker. I used to say that I didn't want to go to bars because they were full of assholes like me.
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.
