There's always been a little bit of tension between the writers of science fiction literature and then science-fiction televised shows or movies, partly because they have a different dynamic.

Science fiction writers aren't fortune tellers. Fortune tellers are fakes.

I'm always a little bit cautious around invented terminology because so much science fiction is off-putting to the uninitiated. You open up the first page, and it's full of all these made-up words.

Science fiction and fantasy feels like it's been ascending in the zeitgeist.

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

In really, really good science fiction, the line between the science and the fiction is blurry.
