Zitat des Tages von John Shirley:
Labels only confuse people. The smarter people recognize artists who transcend categories. But I always try to entertain. It's in my nature; writers are born to entertain. If that means working ostensibly within a genre, fine.
I'm cursed with empathy. I'm also by nature way too opinionated.
I'm trying to trick people into thinking about the unthinkable by using pop culture images.
I think paranoia can be instructive in the right doses. Paranoia is a skill.
I'm incapable of writing without social commentary. I like to think that it's integrated and not really heavy handedly didactic.
I'm not quite pompous enough to think of myself as an educator or a man capable of definitive refutation of falsehoods.
I do try to be of some use in the world. I sometimes do volunteer work with kids, and manage to help some people a little, but really making a significant difference can be hard.
Innocence could be considered a discrete state of mind.
I get drunk writing words. I don't drink or do drugs, but I get so carried away with writing that I get inebriated from it.
I do sometimes watch 'Dr. Who' and while the stories barely make sense, if at all, the doctor is such great company I don't care.
