“My approach to 'Star Trek' was, 'I know science fiction, and I know screen writing.' That was very arrogant of me, but you really need to be a little bit arrogant to think that what you have to say is good enough to justify the expense of hundreds of thousands - now millions of dollars - to make an episode of the TV show.” ThinkingKnowsNeedsWritingLittlesEnoughShowsStarsBitsFictionMillionsTvsApproachLittle BitScience FictionDollarsScreensJustifyExpensesGood EnoughArrogantEpisodesTv Shows Author:David Gerrold
“Most of what I do is science fiction. Some of the things I do are fantasy. I don't like the labels, they're marketing tools, and I certainly don't worry about them when I'm writing. They are also inhibiting factors; you wind up not getting read by certain people, or not getting sold to certain people because they think they know what you write. You say science fiction and everybody thinks Star Wars or Star Trek.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWritingWarCertainStarsFictionWorryFantasyWindToolsScience FictionMarketingFactorsLabels Author:Octavia Butler

“We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel.

“The human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

“The thing about science-fiction fans and "Star Wars" fans is they're very independent-thinking people.
