Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.

Dreaming in public is an important part of our job description.

Image
I don't think of myself as being particulary a subversive writer, but I like to think that my work could afford someone else, the extra degree of freedom that I found when I first found science fiction.
William Gibson
Image
I'm quite good friends with the putative director, Vincenzo Natali, and I'm a big fan of his work, but beyond that, I don't like to talk about other people's work work-in-progress.
William Gibson
Image
In effect, I grew up in a sort of timewarp, a place where times are scrambled up. There are elements of my childhood that look to me now, in memory more like the 1940s or the 1950s than the 1960s.

Enlightenment is being, and it grows it's end is serenity.
William Gibson
Image
I assume that - because you can get degrees in journalism from very reputable universities - I assume that people can be trained to be journalists. I've never been entirely certain that anyone can be trained to be a novelist in the same way.

Genuinely ubiquitous computing spreads like warm Vaseline.

The future is here - it just has not been uniformly distributed.
William Gibson
Image
I was afraid to watch 'Blade Runner' in the theater because I was afraid the movie would be better than what I myself had been able to imagine. In a way, I was right to be afraid, because even the first few minutes were better.
William Gibson
Image
I worry about what we'll do in the future, [about the instantaneous co-opting of pop culture]. Where is our new stuff going to come from?
William Gibson
Image
Naps are essential to my process. Not dreams, but that state adjacent to sleep, the mind on waking.
William Gibson
Image
To some extent I'm guilty of wishful thinking. The absence of the interstitial I find unbearable.
William Gibson
Image
Occasionally if I look back at something I've written I'll find one of those that I don't understand, but that's a bad thing - the unconscious has dealt me a bad hand.

His teeth sang in their individual sockets like tuning forks, each one pitch-perfect and clear as ethanol.
