Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true.

I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.

I can't describe it, what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. This means something. This is important.

Unprotected sex just feels better in a Waffle House bathroom.

You can't start a movie by having the attitude that the script is finished, because if you think the script is finished, your movie is finished before the first day of shooting.

If the movie does well, or it doesn't do so well, some movies get great reviews, some movies don't... that's just part of what I do for a living. I just move through all that; that doesn't ever stop me.

Only a generation of readers will span a generation of writers.
