My First Thought Was Always A Cigarette.

The Science Fiction Method Is Dissection And Reconstruction.

The Big New Development In My Life Is, When I Turned 80, I Decided I No Longer Have To Do Four Pages A Day. For Me, It's Like Retiring.

You Don't Think Progress Goes In A Straight Line, Do You? Do You Recognize That It Is An Ascending, Accelerating, Maybe Even Exponential Curve? It Takes Hell's Own Time To Get Started, But When It Goes It Goes Like A Bomb.

My First Thought Was Always A Cigarette. It Still Is, But I Haven't Cheated.

My Old English Buddy, John Rackham, Wrote And Told Me What Made Science Fiction Different From All Other Kinds Of Literature - Science Fiction Is Written According To The Science Fiction Method.
