You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded.

I love inside jokes. I hope to be a part of one some day.

I never base characters on real people - you can get into so much trouble that way!

My advice is to write about what you are interested in. If you read science fiction and fantasy, then write in that genre. If you read romance novels, then try writing one.

When I said that I was king of forwards, you've got to understand that I don't come up with this stuff. I just forward it along. You wouldn't arrest a guy who was just passing drugs from one guy to another.

You must learn to heed your senses. Humans use but a tiny percentage of theirs. They barely look, they rarely listen, they never smell, and they think that they can only experience feelings through their skin. But they talk, oh, do they talk.

Even that. What is the point in living forever, if it is not with the woman I love?
