I wrote the very first stories in science fiction which dealt with homosexuality, The World Well Lost and Affair With a Green Monkey.

In the forensic science course I took at university they used photographs of dead bodies. For ballistics they showed us a guy lying on the floor, and his head had burst.

My personal conviction is that science is concerned wholly with truth, not with ethics.

I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction.

But the imposition of morality onto science, - where it does not belong - has become rampant in recent years.
