If vampires were a separate species, and they were into genetic engineering, what would they engineer for?
From Octavia E. Butler
Science fiction, extrasensory perception, and black people are judged by the worst elements they produce.
Most vampires I have discovered are men for some reason. I guess it's because of Dracula; people are kind of feeding off that.
Too many writers get into that gross-'em-out factor.
Science fiction frees you to go anyplace and examine anything.
Movies are extremely imitative of one another. Whatever works, people will try to do it.
People who think about time travel stories sometimes think that going back in time would be fun because you would have all the information you needed to be much more astute than the people there, when the truth is of course you wouldn't.
I wanted to write a novel that would make others feel the history: the pain and fear that black people have had to live through in order to endure.
How dull it is to have people defining you.
I used to give up writing like some people would give up smoking.
