I made a rule for myself that the only television things I would do would be my own stories.
I never really saw myself as writing science fiction anyway.
I'm in my 80s and not a keen television fan.
People who believe in flying saucers are the scrapings from the bottom.
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.
Something like The Haunting is not worth the slightest consideration from me.
