‘I think the heaviness for me is when I have to write… Thinking of the ideas is fun for me, it’s the actual writing part that’s painful.’

A second Game of Thrones themed interview! David Benioff discusses the balancing act that is successfully adapting a wildly popular book series with a dedicated cadre of fans, the challenge of returning to writing after a many-year hiatus, and the benefits of being a pathological liar as a child.
