STEPHEN KING

He is the one author in my life where I’ve read everything of his when it came out. I got to meet him and work with him when we were shooting Creepshow 2. He was writing a book then, and he would crumple up pages he was writing, and throw them away. I went into his trailer, took a piece out of the trash and kept it. And then I realised it was Misery! Years later I would work on the movie version of that book, and I showed him the old piece of paper that I took. It was kind of fun to be that kid and go, “Ooh, he’s writing something!”

The Walking Dead is on Fox on Monday nights in the UK. It airs on AMC in the US.
