Fiction Quotes

Im not opposed to doing science fiction or comedy, but there has to be respect. I refuse to be the joke, the fat woman joke, in any movie. I’ve turned down roles Picture Quote #1

Physics is often stranger than science fiction, and I think science fiction takes its cues from physics: higher dimensions, wormholes, the warping of space and time, stuff like that Picture Quote #1

We physicists don’t like to admit it, but some of us are closet science fiction fans. We hate to admit it because it sounds undignified. But when we were children, that’s when we got interested in science, for a lot of us Picture Quote #1

The first seven years that I wrote fiction, I sent out stories and a novel and made a total of $25 Picture Quote #1

My books deliberately provide no answers or messages. I’m drilled in the habit of objectivity and also aware that the steady drip of fiction has more power than facts to shape opinion, so I handle it with caution Picture Quote #1

I just want fiction to remain a vital force for entertainment and not just for contemplation. Both things can exist Picture Quote #1

Fiction takes us to places that we would never otherwise go, and puts us behind eyes that are not our own Picture Quote #1
