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

Science fiction is exciting because it promises to show the world and the universe from perspectives radically unlike what we've seen before.

I think science fiction helps us think about possibilities, to speculate - it helps us look at our society from a different perspective. It lets us look at our mores, using science as the backdrop, as the game changer.

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.

We are in a tech-heavy society, plunging headlong into an unknown future. Science fiction is what allows you to stand back and analyze the impact of that and put it in context of how it affects people.

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.

What science fiction does is take what might be possible someday and examine what might happen if it were - the drawbacks and the positive things.

My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.

Most science fiction is based on our knowledge now and uses that to project the future.

I'm not so interested any more in how a great deal of science fiction goes. It goes into things like Star Wars and Star Trek which all go excellent in their own way.
