In America, if you don't do a 100 million dollars, you've done nothing.

If it's not American, the French won't go see it.

English is taking over the world. I just wrote a piece about it. And it's not by design. The United States dominates because it's the biggest market.

As a child, I read science fiction, but from the very beginnings of my reading for pleasure, I read a lot of non-fictional history, particularly historical biography.

The opprobrium of assholes is a badge of honor.

I get work because I'm primarily a novelist but I've become script doctor. I can work back and forth between French and English.

Science fiction is anything published as science fiction.
