'2001: A Space Odyssey' is a movie that really impresse

‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ is a movie that really impressed me as a teenager. And also ‘Blade Runner.’ And ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ is also one of my favorites. I’m always looking for sci-fi material, and it’s difficult to find original and strong material that’s not just about weaponry.
Denis Villeneuve
My first gig in the business was a guest star on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ so I’m neck deep in sci-fi. It’s been a very good genre to me.
Wentworth Miller
If you’ve gone to a sci-fi convention, you’ve only seen half of it. ‘Con Man’ delivers what convention ‘all-access’ passes have only promised in the past.
Alan Tudyk
Even if I had $200 million, I’m very wary of overusing CGI. I think it’s a great tool and it can be used really effectively, but I feel like it does tend to be overused and especially in sci-fi stuff.
Rian Johnson
I’m such a fan girl when it comes to movies, TV and sci-fi, sometimes I can’t believe I actually get to be in them.
Rebecca Mader
Actually ninety-nine percent of my acting has nothing to do sci-fi or fantasy, I consider it a good part of my acting, and enjoy the roles I play.
Claudia Christian
I’ve never been interested in action movies. Definitely not interested in sci-fi.
Carrie-Anne Moss
‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Star Wars’ shoved me into loving sci-fi and film in general when I was a barely coherent 3-year-old. And ‘Lord of the Rings’ took me to another planet entirely. Before that series, I knew I loved writing, but after, I knew that I had to write.
Victoria Aveyard
They shaved my head, eyebrows. This is not a sci-fi picture. It’s not a fantasy picture. You’re dealing with something that’s supposed to be in reality. But we had a genius makeup artist.
Rick Yune
I like ‘Futurama.’ That’s kind of the only thing that’s my sci-fi thing, although I was big into zombies for a time.
Tatiana Maslany
I love horror, fantasy and sci-fi. Those are my genres of love and devotion.
Bryan Fuller
Some directors want to make superhero films. That’s what gets them off, and they love it, and they love sci-fi. I prefer putting my hands into non-fiction.
Peter Berg
I feel like we’ve found an interesting little corner of the sandbox here as far as the way we’re telling sci-fi stories. I don’t think it’s limited to sci-fi – I think anything fantastic can co-exist with people you and I know, and not these hyper-real movie people.
Colin Trevorrow
Growing up, I mostly read comic books and sci-fi. Then I discovered the book ‘Jane Eyre’ by Jane Austen. It introduced me to the world of romance, which I have since never left. Also, the world of the first-person narrative.
Meg Cabot
I love the action stuff. Honestly, I like sci-fi and everything supernatural.
Meaghan Rath
It’s the imagination that is involved in sci-fi, and fantasy is what draws me to it. Stories, everything.
Mark Sheppard
I especially love right-now sci-fi: stuff that happens in current time but incorporates a scientific breakthrough that is currently being explored.
Brad Feld
I am a sci-fi fan.
Danny Boyle
I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. I like working with larger-than-life characters in fascinating worlds – places where the rules are different.
Gale Anne Hurd
That’s the best thing about being an actor. If you’re in a baseball movie, you walk away knowing way more about baseball, or if you’re in a sci-fi film, you learn way more about Comic-Con, and so I loved all that.
Topher Grace
Sci-fi works for me as a way of getting across a social conceit couched as entertainment. Social realist movies lost their way because they are just not that entertaining.
Miguel Sapochnik
I never realized that growing up in Brooklyn, flying jets, working on Wall Street and starring in a sci-fi series was the prerequisite for the fast-paced demands of talk radio. But, if that’s what it takes to succeed, I’m glad I did it all.
Jerry Doyle
‘Man is an endangered species,’ announces one of the titles at the beginning of the sci-fi lump ‘Battlefield Earth.’ And after about 20 minutes of this amateurish picture, extinction doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.
Elvis Mitchell
The great thing I like about the sci-fi genre is there’s a lot of different latitude for a lot of different kinds of behavior. You can be a very larger-than-life villain, or a very naturalistic villain, and all of it seems to fit.
Mark Pellegrino
I was a total sci-fi geek. ‘Star Wars’ was my ultimate favorite.
Ming-Na Wen
I’m not shy about trying to find what truth there is in any genre, whether that be an action piece, a sci-fi piece, a small indie film, or a play. I’m open to it all.
Mahershala Ali
‘Jurassic Park’ movies don’t fit into a specific genre. They’re sci-fi adventures that also have to be funny, emotional, and scary as hell. That takes a lot of construction, but it can’t feel designed.
Colin Trevorrow
There’s something about fantasy and sci-fi that seems more welcoming of different ethnicities.
Jessica Henwick
I’d always thought that, in all the great sci-fi constructs, there’s always the guy who seems like he’s the commander, but then you reveal that there’s an even bigger puppet master up above and beyond him.
Dan Fogelman
I have always been a fan of genre stuff and fantasy and sci-fi.
Travis Beacham
I love horror, sci-fi and action, or I wouldn’t make these kinds of movies, but those designations are Trojan horses to make these personal comedies.
Edgar Wright
I was a sci-fi addict when I was a kid and a teenager.

I was a sci-fi addict when I was a kid and a teenager. Novels, graphic novels, movies, it was my way to deal with reality.
Denis Villeneuve
I was always a sci-fi and fantasy geek. I was in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ club and all my cool friends made fun of me.
Melissa de la Cruz
I have always loved octopuses. No sci-fi alien is so startlingly strange.
Sy Montgomery
I just watch movies I like over and over. It seems to be a lot of sci-fi stuff. My favorites are probably – besides the first two ‘Alien’ films, I watch ‘2001’, I watch ‘Star Wars’, the first ones, because those actually had a huge effect on me as well, ‘Empire Strikes Back’ especially.
Neill Blomkamp
I was a big sci-fi fantasy geek when I was younger… secretly, in my room.
Christina Ricci
I’m a huge horror film and sci-fi fan.
Guillermo Diaz
I always felt that sci-fi and fantasy were my thing. Bit of a geek, I’m afraid. But I like creating worlds, and I felt it was a genre that gave me more freedom. It just seemed like I belonged there.
Samantha Shannon
I want to make Grimes a high-fashion sci-fi act.
Grimes
I love the sci-fi world and the way it makes me start to question things.
Henry Ian Cusick
If someone said to me, 10 years ago, that I’d be spending effectively my retirement years in sci-fi and fantasy, I’d have said, ‘Well, don’t be ridiculous.’
Ian McElhinney
I never – when I go into a project, I don’t think too much about if there’s a lot of other sci-fi books out there or horror books or whatever. I just tell the stories I want to tell, and I think that is evident on the page.
Jeff Lemire
You can make amazing sci-fi films if you want to with very, very little money and very advanced technology that can run on your desktop.
David Hewlett
‘Star Trek’ put sci-fi on the map and changed television, and ‘Battlestar’ has changed it in another direction by making it a little more mainstream and acceptable to people who wouldn’t normally watch sci-fi.
Aaron Douglas
People who would never sneer at sci-fi and murder mysteries have no trouble damning the whole romance genre without reading one.
Lauren Willig
When I go to a sci-fi convention, oh God, it’s the closest thing to being a rock star I will ever know in this life. I want to be a rock star, don’t you? It’s a good thing to be, a rock star.
Nathan Fillion
Star Trek’ ushered in the end of the Westerns. Then the canvas switched to the sci-fi canvas.
John de Lancie
Some of the most amazing human beings on the face of the planet go to sci-fi conventions, although I’m sure a few of them wouldn’t admit it.
Richard Hatch
There’s two tiers of science fiction: the McDonalds sci-fi like Star Trek, where they have an adventure and solve it before the last commercial, and there are books that once you’ve read, you never look at the world the same way again.
David Gerrold
Sci-fi films are as dead as westerns.
Ridley Scott
I wish everyone was a sci-fi geek because then there would be no violence in the world. There’d be no wars. There’d only be people e-mailing each other.
Claudia Christian
Though many of Obsidian’s games have featured wry, sardonic humor, the developer has stuck to more serious fantasy and sci-fi themes.
Jason Schreier
I would like – either as an actor, or producer or even director – to do something sci-fi or action-related. I like sci-fi, always have, ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Star Wars’ and all that stuff.
Queen Latifah
With fantasy and sci-fi, it’s based in a real fandom. You’re presenting to experts, and their source material is really important to them. They’ll come up and ask: ‘so when you turned your head slightly in that scene, what were you thinking?’
Lena Headey
The special thing about ‘Lost Girl’ is it can be campy at times, but the show doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is what separates it from other sci-fi TV shows. I love that.
Rachel Skarsten
Sci-fi fans are the most loyal fans on the planet – there’s no doubt about it. I’ve done a few of those conventions, and these people will know the lines!
Greg Evigan
I don’t think I’m the world’s most die-hard sci-fi fan, but I definitely grew up watching ‘Star Trek’ religiously – all of them: the original, ‘Next Generation,’ ‘Deep Space Nine,’ ‘Voyager.’ I think sci-fi has an important place in the cinema world. Fantasy is a big part of why films actually exist.
Olivia Thirlby
The fun of that sci-fi and adventure stuff is that it’s always somebody who’s not believed and is not being trusted. If you saw an alien walk across the street, who are you gonna tell? Who would believe you?
Eoin Macken
I don’t know why, but American sci-fi writers seem to focus on the near-future, which has given us Brits a clear run at the most fascinating.
Alastair Reynolds
The thing with ‘Alphas’ is that, even though it’s sci-fi, I run into lots of people that have watched the show for various reasons. They’re like, ‘I had no expectation, and I’m totally blown away and fascinated.’
Azita Ghanizada
I’m really up for the challenge physically to go into sci-fi action, thinking-man’s action.
Henry Golding
I’m a huge sci-fi/fantasy/horror guy. I love anything in the sci-fi or fantasy genre.
Sean Hayes
I love the sci-fi movies where it's from the point of v

I love the sci-fi movies where it’s from the point of view of humans in that situation… When it becomes too clever in its ideas, the cyber-punk, high-tech thing, it becomes more about something else.
John Hillcoat
A lot of sci-fi shows are very cold, too concerned with hardware.
Dean Devlin
The possibilities in sci-fi are wonderful. The subject is bigger than everything we know.
Joel Gretsch
Every Sunday on Channel 6 in Guadalajara, where I lived, they dedicated most every Sunday to black-and-white horror films and sci-fi. So I watched them. I watched ‘Tarantula.’ I watched ‘The Monolith Monsters.’ I watched all the Universal library.
Guillermo del Toro
After ‘Quantum Leap,’ a lot of sci-fi things came my way, and I had to say, ‘I can’t do that right now.’
Scott Bakula
With bad sci-fi – sci-fi that I don’t really like – you watch it and get the impression that you’re just seeing exactly what they created because they needed it in the movie. You feel like there’s nothing more beyond that.
Travis Beacham
Usually the science-fiction fan has some indication they’re a sci-fi fan and, therefore, a ‘Stargate’ fan. In other words, they could be wearing a rubber head or some kind of costume or just a T-shirt that gives them away.
Richard Dean Anderson
It could be sci-fi, love story, historical drama what counts for me is the fact that they’re made by great directors with a great point of view who bring the audience to be elevated and at the same time entertained. That’s what cinema is.
Alexandre Desplat
‘FlashForward’ is definitely not a sci-fi show. It doesn’t have the mythology of ‘Lost.’ We have one major event that happens that you are asked to buy into. After that, you’re dealing with very human ripple effects – how people deal with it and how they come to terms with it.
Sonya Walger
Really, if I’m honest, sci-fi is where my sensibility instinctively goes – I’m a big comic-book fan.
Seth Rogen
With sci-fi you get these kind of stories in historical drama, and it’s just so fabulous.
Mark Sheppard
Sci-fi fans are the best fans you can have. You could be doing the worst piece of tat which might have a robot or vampire in, and some people will become obsessed by it and know every little detail. ‘Being Human’ has crossed over from sci-fi fans to being a drama that everyone can enjoy.
Russell Tovey
I was a big fan of sci-fi.
Percelle Ascott
Sci-fi gives you the scope to do grand stories.
Jed Mercurio
I think, typically, sci-fi can be a little bit grey and thought provoking. Sometimes it leaves you pondering certain questions and things.
Michelle Monaghan
‘The 5th Wave’ is sci-fi, but I tried very hard to ground the story in very human terms and in those universal themes that transcend genre. How do we define ourselves? What, exactly, does it mean to be human? What remains after everything we trust, everything we believe in and rely upon, has been stripped away?
Rick Yancey
Everybody wants blockbusters. I like to see a few pictures now and then that have to do with people and have relationships, and that’s what I want to do films about. I don’t want to see these sci-fi movies, and I don’t want to do one of those. I don’t understand it.
James Garner
When ‘Ghost in the Shell’ was first made, it was so prescient. It was sci-fi.
Ng Chin Han
Yeah, I’m a geek. I read sci-fi and I watch sci-fi films. I love my computer and I love to fix it. I’m a total nerd. I literally am a 12-year-old geeky boy trapped in a 32-year-old woman’s body.
Amber Benson
I keep waiting for a paradigm shift to happen that will let network and studio execs see that sci-fi is the same as any other genre in terms of how you approach it – logically, character-based, with challenging ideas and forward thinking – but I worry that it might never happen in my lifetime.
J. Michael Straczynski
My favorite sci-fi always uses its hook to amplify some bigger theme or idea – some emotional thrust.
Rian Johnson
I really geek out with horror and like to delve into the subgenres, whether it’s comedy or slasher or sci-fi.
Lydia Hearst
I’m not a sci-fi kind of guy, to be honest.
Steve Zahn
I do believe that sci-fi or historical fiction finds an easy home in comics because there are no budget constraints in regards to the necessary world-building or visual effects necessary to bring those stories to life in other mediums.
Jonathan Hickman
What tends to happen when people talk about Chinese sci-fi in the West is that there’s a lot of projection. We prefer to think of China as a dystopian world that is challenging American hegemony, so we would like to think that Chinese sci-fi is all either militaristic or dystopian. But that’s just not the reality of it.
Ken Liu
It’s ironic: In movies, the most successful films of all time have been sci-fi or fantasy. By far. But a lot of people won’t even read science fiction books.
David S. Goyer
I’ve never been attracted to sci-fi per se. People tell me I’m in a genre kind of movie, but it never crossed my mind that ‘The Matrix’ was genre.
Carrie-Anne Moss
I have to say, as a young woman of color, and this may sound controversial, in sci-fi, anything is possible. In sci-fi I can belong to the military. In sci-fi I can have an interracial love affair; I can be a revolutionary.
Kandyse McClure
Well, you know, ‘Spaceballs’ is a weird combination, because it’s a simple, sweet little fairytale, and it’s crazy and out-there and making fun of and taking apart sci-fi, ‘Star Wars’, and ‘Star Trek’.
Mel Brooks
I once had a friend who did the hair for sci-fi movies, and after a particularly bad break-up I stupidly went to her salon and told her she could do anything she liked. She dyed the bottom cherry red and the top peroxide blonde.
Sally Phillips
I’ve loved sci-fi and speculative fiction since I was a kid. It was inevitable I’d try my hand at it at some point.
Rick Yancey
I was never a fan of sci-fi or space stuff.

I was never a fan of sci-fi or space stuff.
Ignacio Serricchio
I’m a sci-fi fan, but a lot of the sci-fi you’re getting is the same. It’s very stereotypical.
Morten Tyldum
We have not been asking the serious questions about the future of our species, questions sci-fi regularly explores by showing us the best and worst of what could be.
Nick Sagan
I have had women in their 70s coming up to me saying, ‘I can’t get enough of ’12 Monkeys’ – I love it. I can’t wait for the next episode.’ That’s not the demographic that you expect to be watching sci-fi shows.
Amanda Schull
I love sci-fi. Growing up, I was a big fan of the ‘Alien’ series, ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,’ etcetera. Plus, anything apocalyptic – ‘I Am Legend,’ ‘1984,’ ‘Battlestar Galactica.’
Sam Heughan
I love, and I’ve always loved, contained sci-fi films that utilize practical effects. I feel like the human eye can tell when something is actually in the frame and when it was inserted digitally later.
Leigh Whannell
I just love variety. I love being able to do different things. Do period pieces and sci-fi. I love being able to move between genres and be flexible.
Linus Roache
I love horror and sci-fi.
Ivan Reitman
I’ve always read a lot of sci-fi. When my son was younger, I actually went to a ‘Star Trek’ convention.
Blair Brown
I did not realise just how passionate sci-fi fans are about their material.
Amanda Schull
I’m particularly fond of sci-fi and fantasy genres.
Roop Durgapal
When you convince sci-fi fans you’ve done something cool, you get them in huge numbers.
Dean Devlin
Sci-fi conventions are probably the most fun, the most out-of-the-box, entertaining week or weekend you’ve ever had in your life.
Richard Hatch
One of the great things about the sci-fi genre is that you can kind of get away with a bit more when talking politics, making social references or dealing with very hot-button topics because it is sci-fi.
Rachel Nichols
The sad thing is that I only ever read novels in bed and now only on the iPad, and thanks to Netflix and iTunes my reading time is getting eaten up more and more by movies and brilliant sci-fi television, like the U.K. series ‘Misfits!’
David Hewlett
As a child I read all kinds of stuff, whether it was ‘Asterix and Obelix’ and ‘Tin Tin’ comic books, or ‘Lord of the Rings,’ or Frank Herbert’s sci-fi. Or ‘The Wind in the Willows.’ Or ‘Charlotte’s Web.’
Mohsin Hamid
I’m a card-carrying nerd, a gamer, and sci-fi geek.
Marcus Sakey
Sci-fi always runs out a little bit ahead of reality, right? Automatic doors in ‘Star Trek,’ stuff like that. It all happened, didn’t it, finally?
Natalie Dormer
I’ve always loved ‘lived-in’ sci-fi. We take it for granted now, but it was a revelation in the late ’70s – ’80s, when movies like ‘Alien’, ‘Escape From New York’, and even ‘Star Wars’ introduced us to the idea that the future could, in fact, look old.
Antony Johnston
The sci-fi genre just happens to have a lot of really great characters for women.
Jewel Staite
I’ve always loved sci-fi and fantasy.
Olly Alexander
I am a big, big geek at heart and a Sci-fi fan. And I love the Comic-Cons.
Paula Garces
From its beginning, fan fiction has been written mostly by women. Originally, this was because of a dearth of interesting female characters in conventional sci-fi.
Russell Smith
It’s rare to get a really truly wonderfully written, acted and produced sci-fi show, period.
Richard Hatch
El Santo’s movies were kind of out there, but Mil Mascaras did the more reality-based type sci-fi movies. You could say he was one of the first to open the notion for those that subscribe to the mentality that this is sports-entertainment.
Rey Mysterio
Being born at the tag-end of the baby boom, I was destined (or doomed, depending on how you look at it) to fall in love with sci-fi. It was one of my first literary loves, as a matter of fact.
Rick Yancey
I know in Britain with ‘Doctor Who’ all the classic actors, and the people who you’d really want to, work on the show. I like that the fact that ‘Torchwood’ has actors that want to be involved from the stage. It has raised our game, and I’m just happy for good actors who want to be in sci-fi shows who love the genre.
Burn Gorman
I am a vampire/werewolf and sci-fi fanatic. God is so good! I get to play in a series that has all that!
Nelsan Ellis
I do like sci-fi, absolutely. I’ve watched everything from ‘Star Trek’ to ‘Star Wars’ to ‘Terminator’ – the list goes on and on.
Mekhi Phifer
I had a book that was given to me as a kid that was called ‘Faeries.’ It was this dark, sinister book with pictures that used to scare me because they were these creepy little creatures. But, I was always really drawn to that fantasy world, more than a sci-fi world, in terms of outer space stuff.
Anna Silk
I’m open to sci-fi, but I was never a diehard fan. I have no idea why it keeps following me. I’m extremely lucky, I guess; it’s a lucrative venue.
Yancy Butler
The thing that makes a great genre movie is one that's

The thing that makes a great genre movie is one that’s not just entertainment, not just horror or sci-fi or whatever. The ones I love are the genre pictures with some subversive message underlying it all.
Ethan Hawke
Adapted from the novel by L. Ron Hubbard, who cranked out sci-fi pulp by the cubic ton, ‘Battlefield Earth’ has the musty feel of the days when the genre’s highlight was Flash Gordon.
Elvis Mitchell
Cyberpunk was really a reaction against old boy sci-fi which was about white guys in space who would come up with some kind of technological thing.
Pat Cadigan
I’m a sci-fi girl. If I can have anything in life, I’d want tons of great science-fiction movies and stories. It’s so progressive, beautiful, and imaginative.
Zoe Saldana
When I was working my way up, it seemed to me that only Westerns and ‘Star Treks’ or sci-fi movies could afford to get away with presenting the problems – like prejudice and desegregation, for instance – that we face in our everyday lives.
Ed Asner
I think sci-fi films have become rather bleak, and understandably so – I think we’ve made some big mistakes globally with how we’re developing, and we deal with that guilt by creating these very dystopian futures in films.
Maggie Grace
I would agree ‘Paul’ is a sci-fi genre movie. And a road movie.
Nick Frost
As the financial experts all over the world use machines to unwind Gordian knots of financial arrangements so complex that only machines can make – ‘derive’ – and trade them, we have to wonder: Are we living in a bad sci-fi movie? Is the Matrix made of credit default swaps?
Richard Dooling
Comedy, drama, Westerns, sci-fi… it’s all fine if the story’s compelling and the character is interesting to me. I do like action a lot.
Jensen Ackles
I was always looking for the female characters in sci-fi and fantasy who were more than just the girlfriend.
Noelle Stevenson
I’ve worked on all sorts of things, like the sci-fi stuff for Vin Diesel, where the script is numbered and is in unphotocopy-able colours and your name is stamped into every page. And it doesn’t really help because it creates a false sense of specialness about the thing.
Colm Feore
The sci-fi movies I grew up with, the metaphor was very rich, and they used to really mean something: David Cronenberg’s films, or John Carpenter’s films, or the Phil Kaufman and Don Segel versions of ‘Invasion Of The Body Snatchers,’ or George Romero’s early zombie films.
Edgar Wright
‘The Watch’ is first and foremost a comedy, but since I got to shoot the film using elements from the sci-fi genre, I wanted to make sure the alien didn’t look goofy. I got to make a real alien that looks dangerous. That was a big plus for me because I got to do something really fun and cool.
Akiva Schaffer
So many people love sci-fi, and they’re so loyal.
Aaron Ashmore
Whether you’re a believer or not, a flawed biblical epic is going to be more entertaining than a remake of a Paul Verhoeven movie or some third-rate sci-fi flick.
David Harsanyi
I like tragedies, whether they’re sci-fi or something else, but I can’t say I know much about any genre in particular.
Leos Carax
Being a sci-fi geek, it was just lovely to be on a show where I pretend I’m in outer space. That’s always been my dream: to pretend to be out in space or actually be out in space.
Ming-Na Wen
It was fun working with Will Smith; it was fun working with Alex Proyas, who is another sci-fi guy with ‘Dark City.’
Alan Tudyk
Personally, I really enjoy sci-fi. I watch it, I read comic books, and I play video games. I love this kind of world, so to be able to work in it is a dream. I enjoy it.
Aaron Ashmore
People often ask me about what constitutes a nerd-friendly show – like, does it have to have sci-fi elements? But I think it’s just a show that satisfies the secret craving we all have to be obsessed with something and not feel at all stupid about it.
Dan Harmon
I read a lot of sci-fi when I was younger. Loved it from the literary point of view.
Bonnie Hammer
I’ve been dreaming to do sci-fi since I was 10 years old, and I said ‘no’ to a lot of sequels – I couldn’t say ‘no’ to ‘Blade Runner.’
Denis Villeneuve
If you were to ask my agent, they would confirm this: I’m drawn to locations. What really drew me to ‘The 4400,’ aside from the fact that it was sci-fi, was the fact that it was shot in the city of my dreams: Vancouver.
Billy Campbell
What I love about sci-fi is that every generation’s films are based on what we know at that point in time. We make movies about the future but it’s always based on what we have. Then as science grows and we discover new things, so do our ideas. You know?
Olga Kurylenko
‘Fringe’ is a sci-fi show. But once you go beyond the genre, you’re immersed in a profound reality.
Anna Torv
In the fantasy, sci-fi world, the fans are so discerning and they’re so tough and they’re so intelligent, and they’re so critical.
Scott Bakula
I’m really into sci-fi. The reason I’m an actor is because of ‘Star Wars’ – I saw that and I knew that’s what I wanted to do. But most of the projects I’m offered as an actor are straightforward dramas, so I haven’t really been given a chance to do that kind of role.
Ricky Schroder
These sci-fi fans are phenomenal in the standards that they hold you to.
Scott Bakula
As an actor, if I just did sci-fi, I think it would get limiting, like if you just play lawyers or doctors, over and over. It’s a lot more fun, if you get to play lots of different types of characters.
Tricia Helfer
I love that vein which uses sci-fi to address society’s problems. It is the same when you have useful nightmares – things morph, and you get to confront issues in your dreams.
Bill Pullman
I believe sci-fi fans are incredibly intelligent.
Victor Webster
I was a huge 'Star Trek' fan. I loved the 'Twilight Zon

I was a huge ‘Star Trek’ fan. I loved the ‘Twilight Zone’ growing up. In the future, I hope to create some thoughtful, sci-fi drama.
Seth MacFarlane
Sci-fi fans are eccentric.
Traci Bingham
The more kind of head trippy sci-fi. I always like that. I was a big ‘Twilight Zone’ freak.
Ethan Hawke
In studio films, everything has to be boxed in, everybody needs to know beforehand – this is comedy, this is sci-fi, this is drama – and what’s the point of independent film if you don’t get to experiment?
Famke Janssen
That’s the thing with sci-fi and action roles. You have to play the danger as real. If you don’t, you end up with egg on your face. You have to commit. You can’t think about how stupid it might look without the special effects.
Victoria Pratt
I was a huge fan of ‘Blade Runner.’ That was a pretty formative film for me growing up. It really got my sci-fi juices flowing, as it were.
Jack Reynor
I think that what’s unique about sci-fi – at least from the view of a lot of Chinese writers – is that sci-fi is least-rooted in the particular culture that they’re writing from.
Ken Liu
I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself the typical sci-fi genre fan. I do have a lot of sci-fi shows that I enjoy, but I wouldn’t call it my favorite genre of all.
Amanda Schull
Thank God sci-fi has moved away from spaceships fighting aliens! Now it’s a place where you can explore contemporary issues or emotional feelings. You can put it all in a different setting.
Morten Tyldum
I’ve done other things, but it always seems like my sci-fi projects have been what people respond to the most, because those fans are extraordinary, so passionate.
Summer Glau
I think sci-fi can easily be PG.
Ridley Scott
I love sci-fi, computer games. I love any escapes. Give me them all.
Alexander Siddig
I was not into sci-fi, science fiction, at all. I was into some of the old pirate films with Burt Lancaster and stuff. I liked them.
Mads Mikkelsen
I’ve been doing sci-fi for two years, and there is always something big going on. The stakes are always huge. You’re fighting for your life, or you’re dealing with personal stuff. It has really high stakes attached to it, and there are green screen and explosions. You’re going out on these really cool locations.
Brian J. Smith
I love Sci-Fi. It’s pretty much all I watch.
Eoin Macken
The sci-fi fans in America… they are die-hard. They will follow you to the ends of the Earth. Once they attach themselves to a show and believe in the show and love the characters, they’re there forever, and they’re unshakeable.
Nelsan Ellis
I keep waiting for someone to cast me as the angel or the witch or the immortal of some kind because so much of the reading I do for my own pleasure is fantasy, horror, or sci-fi.

A lot of comic conventions go way beyond comic books and include other parts of pop culture, like celebrities and science fiction and movies and books. So I go to them either as a celebrity, or as a fan, because I’m a big sci-fi geek.
Jane Wiedlin
I was dirt-poor. I could barely hold down a job. Eventually, though, I started getting small parts on shows like ‘Smallville,’ ‘Supernatural’… and lots of really bad sci-fi movies. I was running around the woods in wolf contacts, covered in fake blood made out of pancake syrup, roaring.
Cory Monteith
An action movie, a sci-fi action movie, would be my favourite thing in the world to do.
Henry Golding
Great sci-fi has never shied from tackling the Big Questions, though really great sci-fi never forgets to entertain us along the way. Shock and awe applies to art, as well.
Rick Yancey
As an adult I wasn’t dying to participate in sci-fi projects.
Malik Yoba
I grew up watching sci-fi and Justice League and all those kinds of things.
Ciara Renee
I think the level of devotion some sci-fi fans display turns other people off.
James Callis
I think you should check out ‘Battle: Los Angeles’ because it really is a sci-fi movie, but it’s not. It’s not like anything you’ve seen before. The best way to describe it is it’s a war movie that happens to have aliens as the enemy.
Noel Fisher
I like sci-fi that is not entirely impossible.
