"It's made me relatively wealthy."


"Not just relatively -- very!"


"Well, I have a lot of relatives."


Lol. Genius.

I love his books but what I love the most about Stephen King is that he seems like a guy you could just hang out with and have a beer and not feel intimidated. Just seems like a cool cat.

"I've had a long career, and I've killed a lot of people."

[bigt]

you can see his personality in his books. he goes into deep detail with his answers as he does in his books. I have to say one of the greatest authors of his genre

I love this interview, so honestly, so held, no bullshit laughter, no forced smiles, just the two of them and the camera crew. So intimate

I've read a lot of Stephen King and even if you hate all his horror novels, it's still hard to argue that "The Green Mile" won't stand the test of time. He also wrote the novella that inspired the Shawshank Redemption. He isn't just a horror novelist. He's a great author who often dips into horror, or suspense or thrillers, but often times goes elsewhere. One of the best writers of the 20th-21st century in my opinion.

The best thing about King for me is the atmosphere he builds in every book he writes. Especially with his 1980s and 1990s books, you really can feel the setting of the story. You’re in the towns he’s built. You’re in Castle Rock, you’re in the Barrens. There is a very tangible feeling of being there. There are times when I will be outside and places I see and go to bring me back into the worlds he’s created and it adds so much to his writing for me that it’s able to transcend and occupy my own real life. He is truly my favorite writer.

I'd buy Stephen King's laundry list.

Stephen King: I’m a much better writer than I am a talker” - man I could listen to him talk all day and night (especially at night :-) )

[crabbySmckr]

I would LOVE to see a Netflix series of The Stand.

[RameenFallschirmjager]

My whole life I've been alone. Since my childhood I had no one to talk, or share my emotions with. But this guy talked to me a lot. I know this guy is famous for writing horror stories, but he also writes very human. He's stories are full of human dilemmas, horrors and emotions. I grow up with his books. I experienced emotions with his characters which I couldn't even imagine I could by myself. I love this guy like the father that I've never had. Thanks Stephen for enriching my sad life with your creations. Right now I'm reading his latest work, "If it bleeds". I just love every one of it's words.

After watching this interview, I must say I really appreciate the proffessionalism and kindness of the interviewer! He did an outstanding job here!

[GoranZaprianov]

One of the best interviews with King I've seen.

[schmidt]

Stephen King's short stories are beyond amazing. "Rainy Season" is such a great story. He undersells it like crazy in his brief description. Nightmares and Dreamscapes is worth reading multiple, multiple times.

[willfade]

Stephen King has been an inspiration to me since I was just a young girl in my pre-teens. I used to "borrow" my stepdad's Stephen King books and stay up late reading them, terrified to go to sleep without a light on. Stephen inspired me to become a writer. I can thank my being published to a course I took on writing specifically for publication and Stephen King's book "On Writing: A Memoir to the Craft."
For years, I've had an idea for a horror and my ultimate dream would be to present my idea to Stephen King himself and have him write it, but I know he'd most likely tell me that it's a good idea and I should write it!
This is an excellent interview. Thank you for sharing.
