"I guess if one set of my books was selling like Stephen King's, and the other wasn't selling at all, editors would want me to do the ones that sold like Stephen King's. But they seem to be willing to let me pick what I want to do next."

Selling

"I finally decided one day, reading science fiction magazines of the time, I could do at least as well as some of these people are doing. So I finally made a serious effort."

Science

"I wouldn't like to just do one story or one type of stories all the time."

Time

Work

"Probably all the books I've ever written have been efforts to define the boundaries of humanity."

Books
