Every story I've written was written because I had to write it. Writing stories is like breathing for me; it is my life.

Those who don't build must burn.

I like to smell things and look at things, and sometimes stay up all night, walking, and watch the sun rise.

You're either in love with what you do, or you're not in love.

We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.

Do what you love and love what you do. Don’t do anything for money. Everything should be for love.

We are all . . . children of this universe. Not just Earth, or Mars, or this system, but the whole grand fireworks. And if we are interested in Mars at all, it is only because we wonder over our past and worry terribly about our possible future.
