Science fiction encourages us to explore... all the futures, good and bad, that the human mind can envision.

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

The things that I've enjoyed most are not really science fiction. They are not much fun to make because there are so many toys involved. They are fun for directors who like toys, like Ridley Scott, but they are not a lot of fun to make. A lot of hanging around, changing this and that.

I quite enjoy science fiction.

I love science fiction.

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.

I'm fond of science fiction. But not all science fiction. I like science fiction where there's a scientific lesson, for example - when the science fiction book changes one thing but leaves the rest of science intact and explores the consequences of that. That's actually very valuable.

I used to read science fiction a lot, and I still like science fiction when it is a model of how we really are and to see ourselves from another perspective.
