I don't think I've ever really been a science fiction writer. I'm closer to a fantasist, speculative fiction, whatever, but labels are ultimately derogatory, and I eschew them as best I can.
I would jump at the chance to work with the inordinately-talented J.J. Abrams on a new 'Star Trek' film.
I'm like a snake sleeping on a rock. I won't bother you unless you poke a stick at me.
I'm not nearly as significant as Ralph Nader or the local plumber.
I write a kind of surreal fantasy, but they can't put 'surreal fantasy' on a paperback.
It was a superlative joy of my long life to have worked with Leonard Nimoy, who became my friend, and many others at 'Star Trek.'
