I love science fiction. There are ways in which this community kept me and my partner alive through some very, very bad years, and I will always acknowledge that.

You look at science fiction and look how often it talks about being alien, being alienated about the other. Look at the number of blue people - 'Avatar,' I'm looking at you. And it is now easier to find people of color in science-fiction literature and media, but the issues of representation are still really, really troubling.

I love science fiction.

I love science fiction when it's well-done. I don't like campy stuff. I don't like stuff that's too fantastical.

I do enjoy reading some science fiction.

A profound love between two people involves, after all, the power and chance of doing profound hurt.
