He always looks like hes on his way to a toy train convention and they asked him for a quick interview.
*Letting D and D continue after the show ran out of source material.
love the way he says "BOKS" instead of "books"
"Selling the rights to A Song of Ice and Fire before finishing the series."
You’re still a hot young writer to me George.
That Theodore sturgeon anecdote is hauntingly similar to what’s going on with winds and george. He says it with such sadness too, just makes it even more cryptic. It’s already been 10 years.
As a 35 year old guy who's still trying to write his first book, this video was really inspiring.
we need an animated ASOIAF series that only follows the books when he's done with them
"I've never been tortured" really? Then what do you call Season 8?
He said "I was a hot young writer for quite a long time"... and suddenly from the depths of memory, I remembered a 1970s sf/horror short story I read long ago, "Sandkings". Fascinating to think that he went from mild success in post-1960s commercial sf, to the desert of Hollywood scriptwriting, and then the story he wrote to include all the things he couldn't do in Hollywood, became the basis for the biggest fantasy TV series of the 2010s.
He's absolutely right about that phrase "in the summer snows"; that kind of light bulb going off over one's head can really light the path to a whole new world unfolding before you. Those are the kinds of moments that are keys to the kingdom.
Now I understand why it took him a long time to start writing TWOW. Most of his career, he hadn't got any great publicity and fortune until AGOT. Most of his works are good but didn't achieve commercial success. But now that he has that success, having earned millions of dollars, he wants to enjoy it. He wants to savor the moments that he has while he has his fortune and fame. He is an old man and it is rare to get things like those. He should at least enjoy for the time being until he passes on. Us fans, shouldn't harass him in any way just because he doesn't start writing. He is an artist and artists have their own time in reading. He is enjoying his life. And our roles as fans is to support that.
"He took 20 years for this" OOF Martin describing himself with winds of winter : (

Having trusted D&D was his biggest mistake.
"Where do you get your ideas from?"

Blokes still a legend in my eyes. He’s gifted the world a great story. He has nothing to be sorry for.
A: not finishing the books before the show
