The biggest obstacle to people becoming better is that you have to really want to be a good person in order to be a better person, and most people would rather be other things. ↗

It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone. ↗

You can't build a plot out of jokes. You need tragic relief. And you need to let people know that when a lot of frightened people are running around with edged weaponry, there are deaths. Stupid deaths, usually. I'm not writing 'The A-Team' - if there's a fight going on, people will get hurt. Not letting this happen would be a betrayal. ↗

No one's policing their own minds more than an author. You spend a lot of time in your own head analysing what you think about things, and a philosophy comes. ↗

The bravest person I've ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease.

If you don't care about science enough to be interested in it on its own, you shouldn't try to write hard science fiction. You can write like Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison as much as you want. ↗

You accept failure as a possible outcome of some of the experiments. If you don't get failures, you're not pushing hard enough on the objectives. ↗
