  • Stephen King is a great writer who's worth will only be recognised by the literary tossers one hundred years after he dies. He's the EAP of the last 30 years. No one can argue with his output, quality or ability.

  • How amazing is Stephen King??? I love his books.

  • If his mother was Frank, was his father, Mary? lolHe's a good writer, but not as good as Dickens — though I guess Stephen would admit to that.

  • the guy can talk, (and write, obviously).

  • the green was probably all the guacamoley he ate. sailors love guacomoley

  • @goldenacorn93 screwed up? its called genuine beauty my friend

  • His mother was Frank??? No wonder he turned out so screwed-up.

  • yeah, it's good to get American stories.

  • It irritates him to answer that cocktail party question in every interview ("What fucked you up?")...

    The interviewer has never read any of King's prefaces I gather.

  • when he laughed, he kinda resembled jim carrey. And when he smiles, he kinda looks like the grinch.

  • I love his cheeky little poke at Lawson at the end, 'We both have a particular attraction to that story, right?'
