My plan for the online version of ‘Famous Monsters’ is to become an online ‘uncle’ to an entire group of people who have never read or heard of ‘Famous Monsters of Filmland.’ The site will not be written in a scholarly fashion. It will be written in a playful, ‘Hey, check this out!’ kind of way. – Harry Knowles

I don’t know that we do. I had thought ours worked well, but I had never examined it too closely. A lot of media people will be looking for a case that might make Texas Governor George Bush think twice about what he’s doing. – George Ryan
A few people have tried to make me see that my writing isn’t quite their thing by saying to me: ‘What about realism?’ To which my general response is, ‘What about it?’ However, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if one of my favorite writers, Marilynne Robinson, was to say something similar if asked ‘What about the fantastic?’ – Helen Oyeyemi
