Henry Ian Cusick Quotes

I love the sci-fi world and the way it makes me start to question things.

Science Fiction will never run out of things to wonder about until the human race ceases to use its brain.

It's more fun to think that there are other worlds.

What I love about sci-fi is that every generation's films are based on what we know at that point in time. We make movies about the future, but it's always based on what we have. Then, as science grows and we discover new things, so do our ideas.

I read so much science fiction when I was young. I believe science fiction is the genre for exploration and to learn about possibilities via book.

I mean, I'm just speaking of my own experiences and my own desires, and it's a kind of a childlike wonder that could really possibly speculate on other dimensions.

To me, science fiction is about the sense of mystery, the sense of awe. Not 'shock and awe', just 'awe.'

The possibilities in sci-fi are wonderful. The subject is bigger than everything we know.

Science fiction let me do both. It let me look into science and stick my nose in everywhere.

Science fiction frees you to go anyplace and examine anything.

Science fiction sometimes is fun because it reaches so far in the future.

Science fiction is about things that plausibly might happen. Grounding my work in the real world helps make that clear.

I love the 'what if' nature of sci-fi.

Science fiction, as I mentioned before, writes about what is neither impossible nor possible; the fact is that, when the question of possibility comes up in science fiction, the author can only reply that nobody knows. We haven't been there yet. We haven't discovered that yet. Science fiction hasn't happened.

Fantasies are things that can't happen, and science fiction is about things that can happen.

I'd like to recover some of the strangeness and wonder of consideration of the future.

The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such, that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that's the appeal of science fiction.

I love science fiction.

There is that romanticized idea of what a bookstore can be, what a library can be, what a shop can be. And to me, they are that. These are places that open doors into other worlds if only you're open to them.

With science fiction there's endless possibilities.

The genre of science fiction is a fun house, an amusement park ride, but it's also a problem. The question that's always being indirectly asked is this: 'Just who do we think we are and, further, who do we want to be?'

I love the science-fiction genre because there's always so many endless possibilities! It's a limitless genre and can be fun playing around with otherworldly ideas.

I've discovered that half the people would love to go into space and there's no need to explain it to them. The other half can't understand and I couldn't explain it to them. If someone doesn't know why, I can't explain it.

The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance - the idea that anything is possible.

We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star.
