You get to Hollywood and you are in the land of big money where they don't like to see only one screenwriter's name. It's much better if you've got four or five.

I made a rule for myself that the only television things I would do would be my own stories.

I wanted to write a story that demanded the viewer's attention.

What can there be concerning outer space but ignorance?

Something like The Haunting is not worth the slightest consideration from me.

I never really saw myself as writing science fiction anyway.

I'm in my 80s and not a keen television fan.
