If your mind is at work, we're in danger of reproducing another cliche. If we can keep our minds out of it and our thoughts out of it, maybe we'll come up with something original.

Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.

Most people try to avoid cliches. It's my ambition in life to try to get 'em right!

I originated my own cliches, but I'm finding that's not working for me anymore.

I'm always thinking of stuff; I just don't sit down and write it. I come up with material more as I go along; if something funny happens, I'll make a note of it on my phone.

Cliches are what make you understand something.

There are trappings of science fiction which I kind of embrace, but there are also cliches which I run from.

I'm always consciously trying to make what I feel is missing.

I hate cliche.
