It is not wrong to be different. Sometimes it is hard, but it is not wrong.

Most eyes have more than one color, but usually they're related. Blue eyes may have two shades of blue, or blue and gray, or blue and green, or even a fleck or two of brown. Most people don't notice that. When I first went to get my state ID card, the form asked for eye color. I tried to write in all the colors in my own eyes, but the space wasnt big enough. They told me to put 'brown'. I put 'brown', but that is not the only color in my eyes. It is just the color that people see because they do not really look atr other people's eyes.

When a person responds emotionally to intellectual things, or emotionally only to traditional emotional things - I find that an interesting break between myself and some other writers and fans.

When I was starting out, I did not do short fiction well, because I kept wanting to write books.

I regarded drugs as somewhat like rattlesnakes - it's possible to pick one up without getting bit, but why bother?

People are people, messy and mutable, combining differently with one another from day to day - even hour to hour.

My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.
