If you don't care about science enough to be interested in it on its own, you shouldn't try to write hard science fiction. You can write like Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison as much as you want.

That's what life is, just one learning experience after another, and when you're through with all the learning experiences you graduate and what you get for a diploma is, you die.

I don't think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them.

On this day I want to tell you about, which will be about a thousand years from now, there were a boy, a girl and a love story.

The science fiction method is dissection and reconstruction.

I'm doing a book, 'Chasing Science,' about the pleasures of science as a spectator sport.

I'm pretty catholic about what constitutes science fiction.
