I don't know anything much about him, but however much I learn to like or dislike him, I can't deny the level of enjoyment I get from of some of his words:

- "I will use big words from time to time, the meanings of which I may only vaguely perceive, in hopes such cupidity will send you scampering to your dictionary: I will call such behavior "public service."

- "If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you."

- "Star Wars is adolescent nonsense; Close Encounters is obscurantist drivel; Star Trek can turn your brains to puree of bat guano; and the greatest science fiction series of all time is Doctor Who! And I'll take you all on, one-by-one or all in a bunch to back it up!"

- "That's [a] good question. More than likely it will never be answered to your complete satisfaction. But then, how many questions ever are?"
