One of the most talented writers out there is Brian Haig.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Freddie and Brian tend to write the majority of the material.
Of all the novels I've written, my favorite is 'Mick Harte Was Here'.
The thing I wonder about is where does Brian's creative spark come from? Not his subjects or anything, but his spark. What makes it so great for me is that I really don't know. There's a mystery behind Brian, even to me.
George Carlin is brilliant with words, and Johnny Winters is very creative. It's taking something common and drawing out the humor, being clever with words.
George Martin is an incredible writer.
Writers - all writers, even screenwriters - like to make their mark. I don't think many screenwriters can write. They pass as writers.
There are probably many, many people who are better writers than me.
All I know is Andrew Davies is an amazing writer; I adore the scripts. I think that Jeremy Piven is outstanding.
Jimmy McGovern - I love his writing, and I'm a big fan of him and Alan Clarke.
Michael Arndt, that guy - you're just supposed to say nice things about other writers, but I worship Michael Arndt.
