I've spoken out my whole life...

I've spoken out my whole life against the idea of simply dismissing whole areas of fiction by saying it's "genre" and therefore can't be seen as literature.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

My books depend on someone in...

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.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

There are a lot of people in ...

There are a lot of people in the field [ of horror stories] that I do read. There is a lot of stuff that is written in this field, though, that is not very good. You just have to look for the good stuff.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

By writing a horror novel whe...

By writing a horror novel where this inexplicable disorder takes over in our ordered lives, you make order look better by comparison. But below that, there's a part of us that responds to the Who bashing their instruments to pieces on the stage. There's a very primitive part that says, "Do it some more."

Stephen King 1467 quotes

I write about things that sca...

I write about things that scare me. I've never written a snake story in my life. I myself have never written a story about snakes because they don't scare me. I write about rats because they scare the hell out of me.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

I never have a thematic inten...

I never have a thematic intention at the outset.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

I think it is harder to write...

I think it is harder to write a story that appeals to the intellect. But, when you tie onto one, you can do it quite deeply. It really depends on the type of idea you have to begin with.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

I hardly ever read mainstream...

I hardly ever read mainstream fiction that deals with life as it is. I like an element of fantasy, something that isn`t quite of the real world.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Friends come in and out of ou...

Friends come in and out of our lives, like busboys in a restaurant.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Gordie: Do you think I'm weird? Chris: Definitely. Gordie: No man, seriously. Am I weird? Chris: Yeah, but so what? Everybody's weird

Stephen King 1467 quotes

You know," King said, "I'm no...

You know," King said, "I'm not much good at telling stories. That sounds like a paradox, but it's not; it's the reason I write them down.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

It's a hard life if you don't...

It's a hard life if you don't weaken.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Battles that last five minute...

Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Even people capable of living...

Even people capable of living in the past don't really know what the future holds.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

The scholar's greatest weakness: calling procrastination research.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

It's only a little secret, but having a secret makes me feel better. Like a human being again.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

Pride was the belt you used to hold your pants up when you had no pants.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

I think the best stories alwa...

I think the best stories always end up being about the people rather than the event, which is to say character-driven.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

The crazy people of the world...

The crazy people of the world...shouldn't get to win. If God won't make it better after they do have their shitty little victories, then ordinary people have to. They have to try, at least.

Stephen King 1467 quotes

That's the day's business. Th...

That's the day's business. Thinking. Thinking and isolation, because it doesn't matter if you pass the time of day with someone or not; in the end, you're alone. He seemed to have put in as many miles in his brain as he had with his feet. The thoughts kept coming and there was no way to deny them.
