downside people series
You want people to be eager for your book; the downside is when the people forget the series even exists.
people thrones sitting
I know who's going to be on the throne [in the Gameof Thrones], at the end, so I better not say. But, there will be a few people sitting on it, before the end.
people sweet-poison cersei-lannister
The more people you love, the weaker you are.
people world helping
The wide world is full of people wanting help, Jon. Would that some could find the courage to help themselves. - Lord Commander Mormont
people littles moral
Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers.
years people cost
I was a novelist first. But in the mid-'80s, I did work in television for ten years. And yes, that was frequently the reaction to my scripts. People would say, 'You know, George, this is great. We love it, a terrific script, but it would cost five times our budget to shoot this.'
people knows
You know I've always considered women to be people.
lying writing people
Fiction is lies; we're writing about people who never existed and events that never happened when we write fiction, whether its science fiction or fantasy or western mystery stories or so-called literary stories. All those things are essentially untrue. But it has to have a truth at the core of it.
people trying littles
Perhaps I cannot make my people good, she told herself, but I should at least try to make them a little less bad.
art people democracy
Art is not a democracy. People don't get to vote on how it ends.
book character people
The way my books are structured, everyone was together, then they all went their separate ways and the story deltas out like that, and now it’s getting to the point where the story is beginning to delta back in, and the viewpoint characters are occasionally meeting up with each other now and being in the same point at the same time, which gives me a lot more flexibility for killing people.
book games people
People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy. So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss co-creators of 'Game Of Thrones) are even bloodier than I am.
truth people taste
People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up.
four gotta grew missed next send until
I grew up with four T.V. channels. If you missed a show, you missed it. You gotta wait a week for the next one. I'd mail-order books: take a quarter, get an envelope, send off for it and wait until it arrived. I grew up waiting for things.
