Quotes by Bev Vincent (?)

“The idea is to come back and confront your childhood, in a sense relive it if you can, so that you can be whole.”
― Bev Vincent, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences

“turtle acts as a counterforce to Pennywise. It claims to have created the universe but now prefers to hide in its shell and allow things to happen without interfering. King calls the turtle “a symbol of everything that is stable in the universe . . . sanity in a world where we don’t know where we came from or where we are going.”
― Bev Vincent, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences

“Unable to come up with a new idea, King revisited a short story he had started the previous year. The tale of a bullied teenage girl with telekinetic powers was a response to a friend’s challenge to write from a female perspective.”
― Bev Vincent, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences
