I regarded drugs as somewhat like rattlesnakes - it's possible to pick one up without getting bit, but why bother? ”

I had, of course, no model for that sort of woman being married, but I can make that up as I go along. ”

Now my mother, interestingly enough, was not a feminist in her own mind. ”

Having a mother who had been an aeronautical engineer convinced me that more things should be open to women. ”

There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person. ”

It's hard to hold the focus that strongly on a single character for that long. ”

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting. ”
