[Los Angeles is] a great place to grow up as a creator because there’s no intellectual hierarchy. I remember going to a party in New York about 35 years ago. They all called me Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. I said, ‘You, ma’am, your name and phone number? And you, sir, your phone number? And you, sir?’ And they said, ‘Why are you taking our phone numbers?’ I said, ‘Because the night we land on the moon, you’re going to get called.’ I was in London when we did. I called three of them, and when they answered I said, ‘Stupid son of a bitch,’ and hung up. —

Ray Bradbury, quoted in Newsweek (November 1998) (via Jesse Lanser)

Great man, great author. Sad he’s gone.
