Chit Chat
Quotes from a chat with author Michael Crichton:
Question from Ed: Mr. Crichton, having read your works since the ripe old age of twelve or so, I’m always curious as to where your initial ideas come from. How did you first get the idea to write a book about time travel rooted in quantum physics?
Michael Crichton: I get all my ideas from an 800 number. You just call in and a voice gives you the ideas. (Grin.) I don't know where ideas come from.
Question from Da Animal: Do you find it difficult to deal with many of the inconstancies of time travel in your books?
Michael Crichton: What I did in this book was decide to eliminate all the so-called time paradoxes, and I have a long argument to explain why they don't make sense. Anyway, I got rid of them.
Question from HIServant: What's the biggest misconception people have about you?
Michael Crichton:That I am a nice guy. (Sorry. I am getting a little batty.) Uh...that I get my ideas from an 800 number. Uh...that I can tell them where I get my ideas, because I know what I am doing. Actually, I have no idea what I am doing. (Some of you may have noticed that by now.)
