"CNN Debate: What Fonda, Cuban, Nye, Stone, Jillette and Patterson want to ask". www.cnn.com. September 16, 2015.

I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy. 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. I mean, I know people who can tell you who won the last four seasons on American Idol and they don't know who their [bleeping] Representatives are.

Smart, Mean, Thinking

I feel better in my mind because I'm doing what God made me to do. He said, 'Go write books, Steve, and you'll be happy.' I'm happy now, and that has had an effect on my life and my relationship with my wife and kids and even my friends. I've always wanted to be a writer.

Life is like a wheel. Sooner or later, it always come around to where you started again.

I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy.

I don't want you to apologize for being rich; I want you to acknowledge that in America, we all should have to pay our fair share.

We're news junkies in my house.

I've always believed in God. I also think that's the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you're in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.

What charitable 1 percenters can't do is assume responsibility - America's national responsibilities: the care of its sick and its poor, the education of its young, the repair of its failing infrastructure, the repayment of its staggering war debts.

"Why Stephen King wants to pay more tax" by Patrick Kingsley, www.theguardian.com. May 01, 2012.

I love the movies, and when I go to see a movie that's been made from one of my books, I know that it isn't going to be exactly like my novel because a lot of other people have interpreted it. But I also know it has an idea that I'll like because that idea occurred to me, and I spent a year, or a year and a half of my life working on it.

Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.

Writing, Thinking, Stuff

Well, I'm like a drug addict, I'm always saying I'm going to stop, and then I don't, what I've said consistently is that I hope I know when to stop: when it starts to get repetitive.

We like to think about how smart we are. But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it's all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can't change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed.

"The Stephen King interview, uncut and unpublished". Interview with Tim Adams, www.theguardian.com. September 14, 2000.

Wherever you write is supposed to be a little bit of a refuge, a place where you can get away from the world. The more closed in you are, the more you're forced back on your own imagination.

We'll just have to get along. That's what people do, you know? They just get along. And try to help each other.

Stephen King (2016). “Cujo”, p.321, Simon and Schuster

How else could he go on, except with merciful incomprehension held before him like a shield? How could anyone?

Mister, we deal in lead.

Stephen King (2016). “The Regulators”, p.7, Simon and Schuster

How do we remember to remember? That's a question I've asked myself often since my time on Duma Key, often in the small hours of the morning, looking up into the absence of light, remembering absent friends. Sometimes in those little hours I think about the horizon. You have to establish the horizon. You have to mark the white. A simple enough act, you might say, but any act that re-makes the world is heroic. Or so I've come to believe.

Morning, Believe, Simple

Stephen King (2008). “Duma Key: A Novel”, p.1, Simon and Schuster

He was one of those quite rare adults who communicate with small children fairly well and who love them all impartially--not in a sugary way but in a businesslike fashion that may sometimes entail a hug, in the same way that closing a big business deal may call for a handshake.

Why' is a crooked letter and can't be made straight.

Robin Furth, Stephen King (2006). “Stephen King's The Dark Tower: The Complete Concordance”, p.514, Simon and Schuster

He was a romantic in his own harsh way…yet he was also realist enough to know that some times love actually did conquer all.

Love Actually, Way, Realist

Stephen King (2016). “The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three”, p.340, Simon and Schuster

I like to get ten pages a day, which amounts to 2,000 words. That’s 180,000 words over a three-month span, a goodish length for a book — something in which the reader can get happily lost, if the tale is done well and stays fresh.

Book, Three, Done

It's a long way back to Eden, Sweetheart, so don't sweat the small stuff.
