I loved this. One of my favourite interviews of all time. Matheson is so underrated. He's an icon. Thanks for posting this.

An inspiration. I am 71, and have been an admirer of this man's work for years. I still write, and will of course use this interview as one of my sources of focus for the Alaskan screenplay I will be buffing up this March in a class.
Thanks again for this interview.

"They would always talk about the distinctions between the pulp writer and the slick writer and the art writer. I came to realize that was ridiculous. There are only interesting stories and dull stories." That is beautiful.

Loved the guy ever since reading one of his short stories as a boy. Much thanks of the post.
