According to this page http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Ste... the top one is the correct version. The second one has an extra word.

I've combined the two King quotes but actually the Wiki page is saying that the quote is unsourced which is Wiki-speak for 'it is possibly NOT his'. They say Robin Browne in 2010.

There is this link but a little more checking is called for

aaaahhhh, nice work. I didn't even look past the quote in question.
Here's another giving credit to Robin Browne. http://andrewfutral.tumblr.com/post/1... Too bad she doesn't seem to be a Goodreads author because we may have to delete it.

Sara Winters (sarawinters) | 4 comments He made that comment a few years ago during an interview with (I think) Parade magazine. Ticked off a lot of Twilight fans in the process. Sorry, I don't have a link to source it.

Neither does anyone else. That is the problem. It also isn't on the Parade website although King is a contributor to that site.
