Stephen King has inspired me with his humor and honesty, and his admonition that the author's job is to tell the truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Stephen King once told me he liked my writing. And that was great.
I'm a huge Stephen King fan.
Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.
I'm a big Stephen King fan.
Stephen King in many respects is a wonderful writer. He has made a contribution. People in the future will be able to pick up Stephen King's books and learn a lot about who we were by reading those books.
Stephen King, by far, is the standard-bearer. I think anyone who writes suspense fiction and says that King isn't an influence is either lying or being foolish. I read his book 'On Writing' before I read pretty much any of his fiction.
As a novelist, I ask of myself only that I tell the truth and that I tell it beautifully.
I was always at heart a novelist and wanted to tell a bigger story, so I wanted to create people who told other kinds of truths than literal truths.
To be publishing Stephen King, to be a friend to Stephen, when he is absolutely what got me into this business, is a really neat thing and something I don't take for granted.
I have been reading Stephen King since CARRIE and hope to read him for many years to come.
