One thing George R. R. Martin does is surprising things to main characters. But he says so himself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
George Martin is an incredible writer.
Part of George R.R. Martin's brilliant storytelling is taking the carpet out from under your feet.
I love George R.R. Martin's 'Game of Thrones' series.
George Martin looks like Santa Claus, but he's got a wonderfully disturbed mind.
I like the fact George R. R. Martin took Shakespeare's political plays as material, but he also took on all sorts of other sensational stories and mingled them in together.
Steve Martin is a legendary actor and a wonderful person to work with. He's incredibly well prepared, and funny off the set.
Nobody just flops a complete 'Doc Martin' script on the desk. They all have to be taken apart and all the apologizing taken out. Because it's hard to have a protagonist that doesn't really like anyone and nobody really likes him; it's a hard premise to start from.
And Michael likes to read a lot. People don't realize that about him but he reads a number of books per week and he's fascinated just about every subject.
For 'Game of Thrones,' I realized immediately that it was about the characters.
Steve Martin is such an exquisite and precise writer. Everything is so clear; it's like a bell. He says what he means and says it so beautifully.
