"As for sticking strictly to presently known science, I will simply point out that we have already experienced at least two major revolutions in science in this century alone."
Science
"Its limitations are those of the physical universe: it won't let you play with some really wild ideas that aren't possible, but are fun to speculate about."
Creativity
"This means I must pay close attention to the writing, but equally so to the scientific background - which sometimes means doing fairly involved calculations."

Fiction
"There are a significant number of people who appreciate what we do, and most of them gravitate to Analog because this is where they can find it. The other magazines tend to share their audiences, which may result in each of them having a smaller market share."
People
"Of course, the way writers think about those things is almost certain to be affected by their own cultural background, and it would be hard to deny that, for whatever reasons, a lot of SF writers come from Anglo or European backgrounds."
Writing
"There may be something to the suggestion about the pace of technological change intimidating writers, though - it's been awfully hard to keep ahead of real developments."
