I don't read other science fiction. I don't read any at all.

Actually, I'm addicted to science fiction. Let me make my diction clear - I love sci-fi.

I do enjoy reading some science fiction.

I love science fiction. I read a lot of science fiction.

I write science fiction for people who don't read a great deal of science fiction.

So often, science fiction helps to get young people interested in science. That's why I don't mind talking about science fiction. It has a real role to play: to seize the imagination.
