Video Interview: Ray Bradbury (“The Illustrated Man”)

This is pretty cool: A video interview excerpt from decades ago with writer Ray Bradbury talking about the movie Illustrated Man:

A quote from the interview:

We save up a tension for tears. So I as a writer come along and try to help you to cry. We save up a tension for laughter… I come along as a writer and help you to laugh. We save up tensions for murdering… so I come along with a story and enable you for an hour to murder. So that the next day, you don’t have to do it in reality.
