KEY POINTS:
Best-selling author Stephen King has turned 60, a milestone that forces him to accept that he is no longer middle-aged.
"I look the same as I ever did when I look in the mirror. I can still see the kid there. But people seeing you see someone who's older. I went to a movie theatre, and the woman asked if I wanted my golden-ager discount. I asked how old you have to be for that, and she said 65. I said 'Not yet, dear'," said King, whose birthday was in September.
