Time magazine (April 1): How have you stayed productive for so long?
Stephen King: The answer is, Stay healthy and stay married.
The only Stephen King book I’ve read is “On Writing” and in it he describes how his wife intervened to force him into treatment for his alcoholism. He attributes his continued success and productivity in part to a sane personal life, including a strong marriage in which his wife doesn’t hesitate to tell him when he’s full of shit. I like this guy.
