Get other writers quotes on your book cover?

How would you do it? Just find an address of where Stephen King lives and send off a piece of paper explaining what its about and asking for any quote of his and send along a copy of it too? And just wait and hope?

Have any of you done it? Is it that simple or must you give money too or just simply be known?
