I've always liked authors such as Philip K. Dick and Ray Bradbury.

Bill Pullman

While my favorite book of short stories is Fredrick Brown's 'Nightmares and Geezenstacks,' my favorite single story is 'Sound of Thunder,' by Ray Bradbury.

James Luceno

I read everything of Ray Bradbury when I was 12 or 13, and I think that's the most effective time to read Bradbury. He built such a moral world, where you have to make decisions and grow up.

Alice Hoffman

When I was fifteen, my father gave me a first edition copy of Ray Bradbury's magnificent work, 'The Martian Chronicles.' I had read other science fiction by noted authors, but this book was something else altogether.

Thomas Steinbeck

Ray Bradbury is, for many reasons, the most influential writer in my life. Throughout our long friendship, Ray supplied not only his terrific stories but a grand model of what a writer could be, should be, and yet rarely is: brilliant and charming and accessible, willing to tolerate and to teach, happy to inspire but also to be inspired.

Greg Bear

Ray Bradbury was the first author that I was really exposed to back in grade school. I'm a big Philip K. Dick fan, but the emotion and humanity that Bradbury brings to his stories and the way he uses sci-fi to get at the human heart is something that's unique and for me incredibly influential.

Rian Johnson

Ray Bradbury published his first story 29 years before I was born. He established himself as an international writer long before I arrived. When my mom was nine months pregnant with me, my father read Bradbury aloud to her as I listened intently, in utero. And I later became his biographer.

Sam Weller

Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury.

Jeff Bridges

A ton of Proust isn’t worth an ounce of Ray Bradbury.

J. G. Ballard

I don't go around thinking I'm Ray Bradbury all the time.

Ray Bradbury

Are my characters copies of people in real life? ... Don't ever believe the stories about authors putting people into novels. That idea is a kind of joke on both authors and readers. All the readers believe that authors do it. All the authors know that it can't be done.

Ayn Rand

Ray Bradbury is one who is contributing to the understanding of the imagination and the curiosity of the human race.

Buzz Aldrin

Ray Bradbury taught me the importance of metaphor and simile and poetic style.

Joe R. Lansdale

In "Faithful," Ray Bradbury is discussed a lot. The characters read "The Illustrated Man."

Alice Hoffman

I enjoyed reading all the classic authors like Isaac Asimov and Bradbury.

William Shatner

Although he moved away from the Midwest for good at the age of thirteen, Ray Bradbury is a prairie writer. The prairie is in his voice, and it is his moral compass. It is his years spent in Waukegan, Illinois - later rechristened by Ray as 'Green Town' in many books and stories - that forever shaped him.
