Research is of considerable importance in certain fields, such as science and history.

I have some good stories yet to tell.

If people ask me for the ingredients of success, I say one is talent, two is stubbornness or determination, and third is sheer luck. You have to have two out of the three. Any two will probably do.

Actually ideas are everywhere. It's the paperwork, that is, sitting down and thinking them into a coherent story, trying to find just the right words, that can and usually does get to be labor.

I don't know why a computer game can't be an art form just as a puppet show or an opera is. I'm still interested in computer games as something I would like to work on someday.

There's a big overlap with the people you meet at the fantasy and science fiction cons.

I wouldn't like to just do one story or one type of stories all the time.
