Science fiction is very healthy in its form.

A novel is often a longer process in handling self-doubt.

It is a truism throughout the civilized galaxy that when you go to the police, your troubles really begin.

I don't finish every story, but I probably write and send out three out of five of them.

But science perhaps is very difficult without faith. Also there is no simple way of saying now we have science, we don't need faith anymore.

I sell well now in Russia. I remember one signing in Russia some years ago where the bookstore had two strongmen to hold the crowds back.
