We split from our common ancestor with the octopus half a billion years ago. And yet, you can make friends with an octopus.

Sy Montgomery Author

It’s an important time to be writing about the connections we share with our fellow creatures. It’s a great time to be alive.

Sy Montgomery Author

I have thought for a long time that one day, if I finally got to deserve it, I would love to write about the minds of invertebrates.

Sy Montgomery Author

The fact that three-fifths of an octopus' neurons are not in their brain, but in their arms, suggests that each arm has a mind of its own.

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 Film Actor

The best thing about Sci-Fi, which is my favorite genre, is that there are no rules for behavior. So you can do anything you want.

Brion James Actor

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 Actor

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 Actor

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 Musician

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 Radio Host
