He is a prolific and brilliant writer, winning awards honoring his talent. Writers interested in speculative fiction would be wise to study Straczynski and his style. Students interested in television production will also find inspiration in his work. Straczynski is a multi-talented and fascinating individual.

Straczynski Quotes
- "They told us not to wish in the first place, not to aspire, not to try; to be quiet, to play nice, to shoot low and aspire not at all. They are always wrong. Follow your dreams. Make your wishes. Create the future. And above all, believe in yourself. That is the lesson of Babylon 5."
