Our Greatest Responsibility Is Not To Be

Why Do I Write? I Guess That's Been Asked Of Every Writer. I Don't Know. It Isn't Any Massive Compulsion.

I Would Guess That Ray Bradbury Would Be Equally Resentful Of What They Did With Illustrated Man, Which, You Know, Took A Central Idea Thesis Of His And Pissed All Over It - Made It Into One Of The Worst Movies Ever Made.

I Don't Have Any System. I Dictate A Lot, Through A Machine, And I Also Have A Secretary. But I Used To Type Just Like Everybody Else.

I Found That It Was All Right To Have Martians Saying Things Democrats And Republicans Could Never Say.

People Are Put Down In Television Now, Not Because They're Not Qualitative, Not Because They're Not Talented - But Because There's No Room For Them, And Worse Than That, There's Nowhere They Can Find Exposure. Their Own Good Talent May Die Of Mourning, Just For Want Of Having Somebody Read What They've Written. I Don't Presume To Say How We Can Best Provide Platforms For New Writers To Get Read. I Don't Know. But Therein Lies The Major Problem.
