I did that for 40 years or more. I never had any writer's block. I got up in the morning, sat down at the typewriter - now, computer - lit up a cigarette.

Advertising reaches out to touch the fantasy part of people's lives. And you know, most people's fantasies are pretty sad.

My first thought was always a cigarette. It still is, but I haven't cheated.

I'm pretty catholic about what constitutes science fiction.

People as me how I do research for my science fiction. The answer is, I never do any research.
