There is magic in my universe, but it's pretty low magic compared to other fantasies. - George R. R. Martin
Unfortunately in television, for whatever reason, fantasy became thought of as a kids' genre. - George R. R. Martin
What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms . . . or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy. - George R. R. Martin
When I am writing best, I really am lost in my world. I lose track of the outside world. I have a difficult time balancing between my real world and the artificial world. - George R. R. Martin
When I'm writing from a character's viewpoint, in essence I become that character; I share their thoughts, I see the world through their eyes and try to feel everything they feel. - George R. R. Martin
When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. - George R. R. Martin
When the writing is going really well, whole days and weeks go by, and I suddenly realise I have all these unpaid bills and, my God, I haven't unpacked, and the suitcase has been sitting there for three weeks. - George R. R. Martin
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say. - George R. R. Martin
Whenever I switch from one character to another, there's always a few days where I really struggle because I'm changing voices and I'm changing ways of looking at the world. I'm not just flicking a switch; it's harder process than that. - George R. R. Martin
Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what's on the other side? - George R. R. Martin
With a book I am the writer and I am also the director and I'm all of the actors and I'm the special effects guy and the lighting technician: I'm all of that. So if it's good or bad, it's all up to me. - George R. R. Martin
You always try to do your own thing. One of the things I wanted to do was to write a book that combines some of the best traits of contemporary fantasy with some of the traits of the historical novel. - George R. R. Martin
You can have the power to destroy, but it doesn't give you the power to reform, or improve, or build. - George R. R. Martin
You want people to be eager for your book; the downside is when the people forget the series even exists. - George R. R. Martin
A woman can laugh and cry in three seconds and it's not weird. But if a man does it, it's very disturbing. The way I'd describe it is like this: I have been allowed inside the house of womanhood, but I feel that they wouldn't let me in any of the interesting rooms. - Rob Schneider
Disney would have ruined this movie and, please, say that in the articles. They would have ruined this picture because they don't know how to make, and don't want to make, funny movies for adults. - Rob Schneider
First of all, weren't all the best beatings in the trailer for 'The Passion of the Christ'? I hate when the trailer gives away all the best stuff. - Rob Schneider
I just think that beautiful people don't have it as hard, you know? They just don't know what rejection's like. That's why super models aren't good actresses, because they don't need anything. If someone is beautiful and she's needy, she's probably had a terrible childhood. - Rob Schneider
