It [science fiction] really is the only genre that lets you use your imagination without limitations,

I want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction.

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

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.

Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little science fiction.

Science fiction is not about the freedom of imagination. It's about a free imagination pinched and howling in a vise that other people call real life.
