I pretty much agree with Stephen when he gave the Frankenstein movie for example. To leave something to the reader's imagination is more effective than to show them the answer. The implication where things are left for interpretation is something so strong that it's the best solution in many cases.

Really liked different season one of Stephen's best

I live in London, born and bred, wear a suit to work, may grab a coffee on my way in before the rigours of the day begin, deal with the tax treatment of some clients' investment bonds, then drive home with the windows open... and what's blaring out of my car stereo? Travis Tritt... what does that say about me? (Don't answer that.)

@iamleda she was extremely (bad adverb) self-conscious and not at all stuck-up as so many are saying here. And my gosh, what writer wouldn't feel out of place with the great Stephen King? Perhaps, Pat Conroy, Ken Follet, John Grisham, Sue Grafton and maybe a few other notable living authors. I would mention Dean Koontz, one of my favorite authors, but my feeling is that Koontz is too shy for interviews.

haha thats my truck!!

I always feel like King is just a normal down to earth guy, his interviews are so natural and just well....amicable. It really stands out with this lady, she's just completely unrelatable.

I agree. Being so down to earth is probably one of the reasons he can write about "average" bluecolar townfolk so well. I am finishing "Under the Dome" right now and that is the latest example of how in my opinion he writes characters so well.

Man, Stephen King is so down-to-earth compared to the other author he's speaking with. She seems awfully stuck up.
