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

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

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

Ray Bradbury

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

J. G. Ballard

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

Bill Pullman

Most people know that Ray Bradbury is one of my favorite authors.

Alice Hoffman

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

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

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.

Sam Weller

I was warped early by Ray Bradbury and Edgar Allan Poe. I was very fond of Franz Kafka.
