'A Storm of Swords' is a massive volume, and it seemed like it would be shortchanging it to try to cram it into ten episodes.

I tend to write the episodes in the middle of the season, which can be a challenge because you've got to balance all these threads that have begun - and also make sure they will make sense with the overall plan going forward.

I'm a big fan of the underdogs.

Don't limit yourself to one thing.

I think 'The Americans' is exceptional on every level.

When we're shooting, I'm in producer mode.
