John Scalzi Zitate

I tell people the first time I decided to write a novel I was in my mid-20s, and it was, 'Well, it's time to see if I can do this.' I basically flipped a coin to see if I was going to write science fiction or if I was going to do a crime novel. The coin toss went to science fiction.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich erzähle es den Leuten, als ich zum ersten Mal beschloss, einen Roman zu schreiben, in dem ich Mitte 20 war, und es war "Nun, es ist Zeit zu sehen, ob ich das kann." Im Grunde habe ich eine Münze geworfen, um zu sehen, ob ich Science-Fiction schreiben oder einen Kriminalroman machen würde. Der Münzwurf ging an die Science Fiction.

I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction.

It's been an old saw in science fiction for a long time, since 'Frankenstein,' that we're going to create life that's going to turn on us.

Ronald D. Moore

I love science fiction. I always have, ever since I was a kid. I love a lot of science fiction writers. William Gibson is one of my favorite writers.

When it comes to the things that people really want in science fiction - like space travel - the simplest things end up causing them not to happen. Humans are 100-pound bags of water, built to live on Earth.
