Alan Dean Foster quotes
" Advances have fallen, generally, for everything except the biggest potential bestsellers. Given all the changes, both economic and technological, SF hasn't done too badly. "

Alan Dean Foster
" Besides the mistakes that are pointed out, I love the way readers become involved with the characters. When readers start asking about character motivations instead of concentrating on the special effects, it means you're connecting with them on a personal level. "

Alan Dean Foster
" Currently I'm reading several books on South Africa and Mauritius, both places from which I just returned. Also books on Northern India and Pompeii, locates I hope to visit within the next year. "

Alan Dean Foster
" Dawn was written well before 9/11. People speak a lot today about the banality of evil, but not all evil is banal. Some of it is carefully structured and well-thought-out. That's where the real danger lies. "

Alan Dean Foster
" Don't try to write to the trend of the moment. "

Alan Dean Foster
" Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting. "

Alan Dean Foster
" Getting inside the mind of a terrorist wasn't difficult at all. Even as children, human beings fabricate elaborate revenge fantasies. We're not a particular species. Check out popular video games. "

Alan Dean Foster
" Growing up, I never gave a thought to being a writer. All I ever wanted to be was a traveler and explorer. Science-fiction allowed me to go places that were otherwise inaccessible, which is why I started reading it. I was going to be a lawyer, but I got saved. "

Alan Dean Foster
" History is replete with great events that result from a concatenation of seemingly unrelated incidents whose relationship is often only discernible in hindsight. "

Alan Dean Foster
" How much research I have to do depends on the nature of the story. For fantasy, none at all. "

Alan Dean Foster
" I enjoy listening to classical music and heavy metal. I play basketball and try to go diving at least once a year. I don't really have hobbies in the traditional sense... I engage in too many activities already through the actions of my characters. "

Alan Dean Foster
" I have a bad tendency to get rapidly bored with my own material, so rewriting is hard for me. I mean, I already know the story and would rather read something new. "

Alan Dean Foster
" I hear entire symphonies, oratorios, in my head, but I can't write a note. "

Alan Dean Foster
" I loved Shrek, and was very fond of K-Pax. "

Alan Dean Foster
" I need as much silence as possible, though I can work with some background noise. No music... I get too involved in the music. "
