Because television doesn't offer the kind of budget that a movie offers, you've got to be a little more careful where you spend the money to put the fiction in science.

Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.

You can't really go into TV thinking, 'Maybe I can make a few bucks doing this thing I'm only kind of interested in to support my one true love, which is prose fiction.' I think you have to love what you're doing to do it well.

I'd like to do more TV; TV is completely different than working in movies in a lot of ways, it's like making a really compact movie. Because you don't have as much time, especially hour long shows, they move so quickly.

I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.

Science fiction is a big, big love of mine. I would love to get into that at some point.

I love good TV shows, but it's not what I do. I kind of sculpt my films as I go along. And TV is all about writing, so you just shoot, shoot, shoot what's written.

TV does a thing that film can never do. It takes you to a place that no novel written after the late 19th century can. You can just go through people's lives; it's like a marriage.

Science fiction is my way of pushing the imagination onward. It's a way to understand how the world will look in the future.

TV is a major force in our lives - a FORCE. It must be handled very carefully, both its censure and its artistic honesty.
