I have a little mantra: 'My fear grows fat on the energy I feed it. And if it grows very big, it probably happens.'
I remember looking at the sky and thinking that the universe is so big and it's all chaos. I call it 'the dark fear.' At any moment, the dark fear could come in.
There's such big pressure on people who are incredibly famous, on those who have people sitting outside their front door and taking photos every time they move.
I have to believe SF writers will continue to inspire the public to have faith in - to demand! - a future that is at least as big and bold as the past.
I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future.
The future is going to require really smart people. What we think are crises today probably will be no big deal, and we have no idea what will really be crises in the future.

Forget artificial intelligence - in the brave new world of big data, it's artificial idiocy we should be looking out for.
What can we put into the hands of people under oppressive regimes to help them? For me, a big part of it is information, knowledge - the ability to defeat propaganda by understanding it.
Wars and elections are both too big and too small to matter in the long run. The daily work - that goes on, it adds up.
The regular things in my life now - training sessions and playing matches - will all fall away. That will leave a big empty space and it will need to be filled.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
Curiously, the United States is full of writers who have one big work in their life and that's all.

I had a big part of my life in the theater in Philadelphia. Philadelphia's changed, but I love it.
I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner.
