I was obsessed with Philip K. Dick.

El-P

I'm a huge fan of Philip K. Dick.

Johann Johannsson

Reality, by itself, becomes a story by Philip K. Dick.

Philip K. Dick

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

Bill Pullman

I don't think anyone could be the next Dick Vitale. I mean that in a good way. More than an announcer, Dick is an ambassador for the game. Dick is in class by himself. Like what he does or not, what he has done to expand the popularity of college basketball is phenomenal.

Stan Van Gundy

Always remember, there's no point trying to be faithful to the book because film and writing are just two completely different things. Any film stands on its own, apart from whether it's based on a novel.

William S. Burroughs

I loved literary science fiction. In fact, as a kid, when I was reading science fiction, I thought 'I can't wait for the future when the special effects are good' to represent what was in these books by Arthur C. Clarke, Alfred Bester, Philip K. Dick, J.G. Ballard, Jack Vance.

Matt Groening

I love Philip Glass' work, not only as a film composer but also as a musician. The film score work that he does always amazes and shocks me.

Park Chan-wook

'The Brownies and the Goblins' is the only book I recall from my early childhood and is the inspiration for a children's book I wrote in the 1980s titled 'The Magic Spectacles.'

James Blaylock

If it's a good work of adaptation, the book should remain a book and the film should remain a film, and you should not necessarily read the book to see the film. If you do need that, then that means that it's a failure. That is what I think.

Marjane Satrapi

Of all Prince Philip's respected biographers, only Sarah Bradford is adamant that Philip has had affairs.

I used to read a lot of Isaac Asimov and Philip Dick and 'Inland Empire's' one of the earlier books I read!

Eoin Macken

I'm in total sympathy with Dick Smith's sentiments; I only wish there were grounds for saying we Australians would never tolerate such appalling treatment of refugees being carried out in our name.

Hugh Mackay

I think my background in film taught me that a great book adaptation is not always slavishly faithful to the source material.

Ransom Riggs

Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.

Jude Law

Corliss wondered what happens to a book that sits unread on a library shelf for thirty years. Can a book rightfully be called a book if it never gets read? If a tree falls in a forest and gets pulped to make paper for a book that never gets read, but there's nobody there to read it, does it make a sound?
