Zitat des Tages von Greg Egan:
I hadn't given much thought to the prospect of a Hugo nomination at the time it happened, but obviously once you're nominated, winning one seems a bit less far-fetched than before.
I admire David Lynch so much, and I think he made some bad decisions with Lost Highway.
A story in Asimov's is read by hundreds of thousands of people.
I've supported myself by writing since 1992, and I'm probably very nearly unemployable by now because employers are likely to be put off by the long gap.
Being rewarded for anything other than the quality of their work is the fastest way to screw-up a writer-and it isn't only new ones who suffer from that.
I've been taking longer to write stories lately.
I think new writers everywhere need opportunities to get published.
I don't have any structured grand plan; I just intend to keep writing about the things that interest me-some of which change, some of which don't.
I'm rarely grabbed by anything the way I was when I was 10 years younger. About the only relatively new artists whose albums I own are Beck, and They Might Be Giants.
Fandom is about fandom, it's a great big social club.
Diaspora starts about a thousand years from now. Most of human civilisation has moved inside computers; essentially, a major branch of our descendants consists of conscious software.
