« Fantasy is the mother of the genre - for example Gilgamesh, Illiad, Odyssey and most religions. And Science Fiction is its unruly offspring. All his works have deep roots in Fantasy, which itself emerges straight from our dreams. »

« Why are SF and Fantasy so often put in the same bag? Certainly, because they share the same readership and are therefore placed together in bookstores. And... Devil... some of us write both! Yet there are very real differences. »

« That said, how do you define a clear separation? I think it is very basic, revolving around this human notion of improvement: Do you think it is possible for children to learn from the mistakes of their parents? For all the courage and heroism shown by the characters of Fantasy through 4000 years of a great, dramatic fresco - NOTHING NEVER CHANGE! Aragorn may be a better king than Sauron would have been. Hooray. Splendid. But he's still a fucking king. And the Palantir on his desk that allows him to see distant places and converse with viceroys in the kingdom is always reserved for a super elite. »
