Every new generation of SF writers remakes cyberpunk - a genre often laced with dystopian subtexts - in its own image.
Often I have to move my body in a certain way, like exercising, to begin to get into the right rhythm for writing a song.
Often I used my gut instinct to ask the questions and get the answers I thought the audience wanted to hear. Sometimes the interviewees said things that surprised even them.
I have often thought it was very arrogant to suppose you could make a film for anybody but yourself.
Dependency arguments often come from elites - either aid agencies or governments - and say something about attitudes to poor people.
Unless you're a salesman, or a bad guest on a talk show, you don't call someone by his name that often.
