[Writing] is harder than you think. You'll be rejected often. If you do it for money, you'll quit. Love it or don't do it.

I like to keep the world, to some degree, an implied setting.

I enjoyed The Mirage by M. Ruff. I'm reading Edgar Rice Burrough's Princess Of Mars right and loving it.

I loved The Weird (one of the stories in it inspired Blackalley in Discourse).

Original work has no floor and no ceiling. You can reach essentially zero readers or millions.

I try to pester Christian Dunn from time to time. As soon as my schedule allows, I plan to make a real pest of myself and get some hot, slippery Chaos action.

The Disney deal created some wrinkles. I'm under contract. But I'm on standby.

I'm unstuck in time. Also, I juggle like mad and have made myself efficient.

Fantasy allows for less rigorous worldbuilding and more vigorous exploration of moral questions. Sci-fi is opp.

My goal is to write stories that are connected, but not sequels in any meaningful sense. Like Howard's Conan tales or Leiber's Fahrrd & the Great Mauser stories.

I always work from outline and almost always write out of sequence. It just works for me.

Women do not admit to the past, they mourn for past even less. They grab from each moment anything they can reach.

I go to a better tailor than any of you and pay more for my clothes. The only difference is that you probably don't sleep in yours.

Daniel Levitin has more insights per page than any other neuroscientist I know. The organized Mind is smart, important, and, as always, exquisitely written.

If I wasn't a comic or TV star, I really wanted to be a photojournalist.

It was there I met my future wife, Celeste Landry, although our lives took us separate ways for many years and we were not to marry until more than ten years later.

The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.

The star of the Magi which pointed so unerringly to the cradle of Christ points not less unerringly to one of the sources from which Christ came.

The music was my friend, my lover, my family.

Place your attention on what you wish to experience.

Love of others is the appreciation of one's self.
