That's an aspect of this business which can be very frustrating and aggravating. Most of what is written about you is wrong and so much of what does get printed is often about personal things that you don't want to have other people read about.

People have often written about me, that I did this for this reason and that for that reason, and they're usually 98 percent wrong.

So much has been written about me, and people don't know what's right and what's wrong. I'd rather let them stay confused.

I'm not a writer, and I don't want there to be any mistake about that.

The way I usually put it is that as an SF writer, I'm never required to be right.

People will read into what you say no matter what, so it doesn't matter to me.

The correctness and quality of what you write do not matter; the act of writing does.

I was brought up to try to see what was wrong and right it. Since I am a writer, writing is how I right it.

It's not cool to have your name in print when it's not the truth.

A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don't know where they get it from, sometimes.
