Being a geek is a great thing. I think we're all geeks. Being a geek means you're passionate about something and that defines your uniqueness. I would rather be passionate about something than be apathetic about everything.
As far as geek culture, I didn't grow up in the comic con geek culture lane, then I started doing Comic Cons seeing the impact of it. The character, Rufio living on.
I have failed 'Star Wars' trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I've never heard of.
I hope I won't become hated by geeks everywhere, but I don't really know comic books all that well.
Sci-fi nerds are respectful, honorable. You can trust them.
A-list stars go to Comic-Con to woo the nerd demographic.
I'm a fanboy and a geek.
I feel fantastically geeky. [But] I'm not one of those people who's enormously proud of being a geek, but nor am I particularly ashamed of it.
What I'd love more than anything is for Worldbuilders to continue to grow and become entangled in all the different corners of the geek community.
The absolute favorite part of Comic-Con is seeing like a Mass Effect guy hanging out with a Sailor Moon, and they're just having a great time. Nerds, we love what we love with a passion and sometimes it's an angry passion, and to see that all sort of bleed out and everybody just connect.
Oh my God, I'm so excited. I love Comic-Con, it feels like a weird nerd camp. All my nerd friends are there and all the comic book writers I know and then a lot of actors, too, and you hang out with these people for just a few days, but you hang out with them all day, every day. It's like camp - it's like a weird camp. I love it.
I think that, if the world was a bit more like Comic-Con, we'd all be a little happier.
I'm geek royalty now.
I am not going to get into it myself, except to say (1) if I am writing "boy fiction," who are all those boys with breasts who keep turning up by the hundreds at my signings and readings? and (2) thank you, geek girls! I love you all.
I'm a rock star among geeks, wonks, and nerds.
I wish everyone was a sci-fi geek because then there would be no violence in the world. There'd be no wars. There'd only be people e-mailing each other.
I feel like I've been very fortunate in that I've stuck like a burr to the dog-leg of the next generation of nerdism. I've been carried into the XXIth century on Bill Gates' pants-cuff.
My theater nerd world and my comic friend world are colliding... That's the thing that I was nerdy about, was theatre. I wasn't as much into the comic book stuff. So it's fun to see there are people that are into that that are also theatre nerds like me.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, it took effort to be a nerd. You had to seek out the nerd stuff.
I just think, you know what, some of the most astute fans I know are film geeks, film lovers, and watchers, and I am now proud to be one of them. So I am, hopefully, going to be accepted into the club of geek!
I am a geek, and proud of it.
Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy.
The substance of what it means to be a geek is essentially someone who's brave enough to love something against judgment. The heart of being a geek is a little bit of rejection.
I feel it's important for the geeks to have a voice. 'Dope' is going to give a lot of people a new perspective.
