From the interview with Stephen King for EW:
"Arguably, the film rights lapse — so we’ll see. We’re looking into that. I’m not saying I would put a stop to the project, because I’m sort of a nice guy. When I was a kid, my mother said, ‘Stephen if you were a girl, you’d always be pregnant.’
This is priceless - it made me laugh out loud. No wonder he has such an excellent sense of humour! :p

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, and enriching your own life as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy. - Stephen King
