I don't enjoy any of the process of writing. I enjoy it when it goes on if it zings and it has great warmth and import and it's successful.

Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being.

Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.

The writer's no different. When he's rejected, that paper is rejected, in a sense, a sizeable fragment of the writer is rejected as well. It's a piece of himself that's being turned down.

Our greatest responsibility is not to be pencils of the past.

I would guess that the price of the script really is secondary. The credit is much more the essence.

Writers vary tremendously. Was it Tom Wolfe who stood up or was it [Ernest] Hemingway who had to stand up? I don't know.
