“Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”
“As the popularity of science-fiction increases, so inevitably does the volume of clownish imprecation against it.”
“Every problem has a solution, although it may not be the outcome that was originally hoped for or expected.”
“Fiction is a solution, the best solution, to the problem of existential solitude.”
“And I do think that great fiction, even when it's comedic, has an urgency or an inevitability to it, a sense that the writer absolutely had to write this particular story in this way.”
“Problems are inevitable. Misery is a choice.”
