More From Mark Millar

It was sci-fi and fantasy that got me reading, and sci-fi writers in particular have pack rat minds. they introduce all sorts of interesting themes and ideas into their books, and so for me it was a short leap to go from the fantasy and sci-fi genres to folklore, mythology, ancient history and philosophy. i did not read philosophy because i set out to become a philosopher; i read it because it looked interesting.
Philosophy Book Reading
When i was a kid growing up in the '80s, the bbc showed those old buster crabbe serials like flash gordon and buck rogers. so instead of ponderous sci-fi or depressing sci-fi or dystopian sci-fi and all the things we're kind of used to, where it's always raining and it's always dark, i thought, "wouldn't it be nice to do something that was just fun and absolutely nonstop?" like, i love writing action, and this thing is that. it's all action.
Depressing Growing Up Fun
If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. don't trust your memory. then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. what a good review-going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. so be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.
Motivational Memories Writing
The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.
Real Simple Views
The big thing is it's a domestic drama. everything else in science fiction tends to be high-concept. really for the last 40 years or so i think sci-fi's been a little cold and a little inhuman quite often - certainly since the 1980s - and i really wanted to do something that almost felt like a regular, real-life drama but just set it in a sci-fi setting. i think the best stuff is always like that.
Drama Real Thinking
I think the sci-fi world allows for exploration of that that isn't on the nose and that isn't preachy, but it's kind of artful and explores it differently. i think there's more imagination in sci-fi. there's more chance to kind of explore perspective and not have it so grounded in this world that we live in, which is so stuck in a patriarchal kind of system.

Similar Quotes
The nineteenth century, utilitarian throughout, set up a utilitarian interpretation of the phenomenon of life which has come down to us and may still be considered as the commonplace of everyday thinking. ... an innate blindness seems to have closed the eyes of this epoch to all but those facts which show life as a phenomenon of utility
Eye Thinking Everyday
Doesn't matter if you're fourteen or if you're eight, there's an incredible vernacular that i do believe has become more and more plausible to talk this way in the public sphere, i think because we live in such a coarse and pornographic era. years of this has produced a certain amount of misogyny that is just a given of life in america at this point.
