Sometimes, I can myself be frustrated by books that seem to me to be insufficiently realistic about the world's potential for just being totally a randomly bad place.

Me just being myself in public or on TV is the biggest nightmare in the world.

I think the least important thing about science fiction for me is its predictive capacity.

Sometimes there has to be a goat on some level, and I'm totally fine with that being me.

Cyberspace is colonising what we used to think of as the real world. I think that our grandchildren will probably regard the distinction we make between what we call the real world and what they think of as simply the world as the quaintest and most incomprehensible thing about us.

I have been singing randomly, obsessively, obnoxiously for as long as I can remember.
