Little kids are that way; they feel if their parents aren't watching what they do then what they do isn't real.

What scared me the most was when my father would put on the gasmask. His face would disappear... This was not a human being at all.

I mean, knowing people, people are terrified of the unknown and they want to just kill the unknown.

One thing I've found that I can do that I really enjoy is rereading my own writing, earlier stories and novels especially. It induces mental time travel, the same way certain songs you hear on the radio do ... the whole thing returns, an eerie feeling that I'm sure you've experienced.

The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeeth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. Therefore Jules Verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. It would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band.

I have seen myself backward.

The church of my choice is the free, open world.
