"I do what I do for the most serious reasons: love, my personal madness, money. Narrating the absurd is the most logical way I find to describe the world I live in. These stories have served me as tools of metaphor and allegory; they continue to offer the best window into the question of how we perceive things and the consequent question, how we react based on these perceptions. I have tried to explore these issues as best as I could, always within the limited confines of my talent and intelligence. No one would propose me as a candidate for a Nobel or Pulitzer, but I am serious. However skeptical you may be of me, at least do not doubt this: when I take you by the hand and start talking, my friends, I believe every word I say."
Stephen King
