So fantasy was fine early on and when I discovered science fiction I was very happy with it because my first interest in science fiction came with an interest in astronomy.

No one was going to stop me from writing and no one had to really guide me towards science fiction. It was natural really that I would take that interest.

Fantasy is totally wide open all you really have to do is follow the rules you've set. But if you're writing about science you have to first learn what you're writing about.

The thing about science fiction is that it's totally wide open. But it's wide open in a conditional way.

Science fiction let me do both. It let me look into science and stick my nose in everywhere.

I began reading science fiction before I was 12 and started writing science fiction around the same time.

If Margaret Thatcher took climate change seriously and believed that we should take action to reduce global greenhouse emissions then taking action and supporting and accepting the science can hardly be the mark of incipient Bolshevism.

I cannot say how strongly I object to people using other people's writing as research. Research is non-fiction especially for horror fantasy science fiction. Do not take your research from other people's fiction. Just don't.

A second reason why science cannot replace judgement is the behavior of financial markets.

The rise of Google the rise of Facebook the rise of Apple I think are proof that there is a place for computer science as something that solves problems that people face every day.

I've started a company called Tall Girl Productions and we've got our first project that is purely producing not writing with a writer named Evan Daugherty. It's for NBC it's called 'Afterthought ' and it's science fiction-ish. That's fun.

Science must begin with myths and with the criticism of myths.

Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.

Science has produced such powerful weapons that in a war between great powers there would be neither victor nor vanquished. Both would be overwhelmed in destruction.

Science is not addressed to poets.

Science is the systematic classification of experience.

The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things everything is becoming simpler.

While most of us know that we feel better after a good hearty laugh science in many cases is yet to prove why.

Psychology is the science of the act of experiencing and deals with the whole system of such acts as they make up mental life.

I'm a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kay's geosynclinal cycle which is a bunch of crap.

I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.

I was a daydreamer and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that.

Science grows like a weed every year.

Science consistently produces a new crop of miraculous truths and dazzling devices every year.
