judge not that ye be not judged

Stephen King told me a long time ago, when he gave me some advice about the movies. He said to take the money up front and expect it to be something different than the book and if you don't like that don't deal with Hollywood. But if you take the money, shut up and don't criticize the film because you sold it. The movie doesn't change a word of the book.

Keeping a guy in prison costs 50,000 bucks a year. Executing one costs a couple million.

One thing that drives me nuts... well, let me ask you, when writers write do they not use quotation marks anymore?

A riveting, exciting and thoroughly compelling tale of adventure.

I'm not in favor of the death penalty. But I'm in favor of locking these people away in maximum security units where they can never get out. They can never escape. They can never be paroled. Lock the bad ones away. But you gotta rethink everybody else.

After I'd been a lawyer for about five or six years, I started playing around with fiction.
