I knew if we could pull in the Stephen King fans, we’d have a ball game. The point at which I finally became confident of the audience interest was when I showed up at one of the Marvel midnight openings to launch the very first issue of Dark Tower Picture Quote #1

I love my sons and I love that they are writers - I also love my daughter, who’s a minister and an orchard keeper! - but I wouldn’t wish the burden of Mid-World and the Dark Tower on them. I enjoy working with them, though, because we fit together Picture Quote #1

The cumulative power of doing things the same way every day seems to be a way of saying to the mind: You’re going to be dreaming soon Picture Quote #1

Christ.No, not Christ. These leavings were made in propitiation of a much older God than the Christian one. People have called Him different things at different times, but Rachel’s sister gave Him a perfectly good name, I think: Oz the Gweat and Tewwible, God of dead things left in the ground, God of rotting flowers in drainage ditches, God of the Mystery Picture Quote #1

We’re all going to die; I’m just trying to make it a little more interesting Picture Quote #1

I think the best writers are voracious readers who pick up the cadences and the feel of narration through a number of different books. And you begin by maybe copying the style of writers that really knocked you out Picture Quote #1

Disney cartoons are all rated G. It’s really funny. There are kids all over the world who still have complexes over Bambi’s father getting shot by the hunter and Bambi’s mother getting crisped. But that’s the way it’s always been. This is the sort of material that appeals to kids. Kids understand it instinctively. They grip it Picture Quote #1

I think most of us can remember from our own childhood, just in the Disney cartoons, things that frightened us profoundly. For me it was Bambi, the scene when the forest was on fire. That was something I had nightmares about. I can’t imagine being a little kid of eight and seeing Night Of The Living Dead with living corpses eating the flesh of living people Picture Quote #1

When asked, ‘How do you write?’ I invariably answer, ‘one word at a time.’ Picture Quote #1

Our time here is brief, our risk enormous. Don’t waste the one or increase the other, if you please Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Not writing would be like going the rest of your life without having dreams Picture Quote #1

And I guess you judge how well you’re doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like Picture Quote #1

If you were a real fascistic society and you had a vocal minority that was shouting, Stop this, stop that, stop the other thing, what you would say is, Let’s give them all the drugs they want. In a lot of states, something very much like that happened. They lowered the drinking age to eighteen and said, Get juiced Picture Quote #1

If it’s OK to register cars and license drivers, why is it not OK to impose similar legal responsibilities on gun owners? Picture Quote #1

If something is accessible to a lot of people, it’s got to be dumb because most people are dumb Picture Quote #1

We’ve switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that’s really entertainment-based Picture Quote #1

I’ve taken off two months, three months at a time, and, by the end, I get really squirrelly. My night life, my dream life, gets extremely populated and crazed Picture Quote #1

Sooner or later everything you thought you’d left behind comes around again. For good or ill, it comes around again Picture Quote #1

I don’t really get philosophical, but I believe that nice people are strong and usually in my horror stories, I don’t like to write about the old standard where some rotten guy gets chased by a mean spirit that gets him in the end.I’d rather write about nice people that are menaced from outside by some sort of evil power and who sort of slug it out Picture Quote #1

The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window Picture Quote #1
