Quote

I'm really influenced by so many different things.

Each day when I'm walking with my dog through the damp forest, I'm thinking about the atmosphere, and it often works its way into my next scene somehow.

I like the facts. I find them interesting.

The very air in which you live is an inspiration.

Periodically, I return to the classics for inspiration and refreshment.

I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions.

My inspiration is everything that the human being gets up to.

My function as a writer is to provide an atmosphere in which people can think wisely about what we're doing on this planet.

I've done other things, but it always seems like my sci-fi projects have been what people respond to the most, because those fans are extraordinary, so passionate.

I like to look at 'A Place in the Sun' every now and get inspired by it.
