You can tell when the host said he was going to say keywords and George would speak his mind on them, George was like "oh god...", but then the questions were actually really good and the host covered a lot of his material, so George actually got quite into it :) Thank you for uploading!
Thank you very much Liz. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Yes he was in a very cheery mood. I'm guessing he was very comfortable surrounded by such nice people.
How the young folks are giggling at every little thing Martin says just to show to their peers that they understand English language :D I know this from university, too... XD
There are so many great characters from Game of Throne/A Song of Ice and Fire. Male and female. This GRRM interview was fantastic. I bet you haven't watched past the 1st season, "Darrklandz": let alone read the books. Did you even watch the entire interview? Typical feminazi, screaming "sexism/sexist!" about something you know NOTHING about! No strong female characters!? Are you fucking kidding me?! I guess if you OMIT: Daenerys, Arya, Catelyn Stark/Tully, Brienne, Sansa, Arianne Martel, The Sand Snakes- Tyene, Nymeria ,Elia and Obara; Margaery Tyrell, Cersei, 'the lady of thorns'-Olenna Tyrell, Aegon's sister-wives-Rhaenys and Visenya, the other Nymeria that led the 10k ships from the Rhoyne, Lady Mormont-head of the house Mormont which lead her house and went to war with Robs Stark's army and was a fierce fighter too, Asha Greyjoy, Melisandre, and Ygritte, etc,then you MIGHT have a leg to stand on. But you don't; cause you can't leave all those great female characters out just to suit your warped few. We have different standards of social mores today compare to the time period, Medieval times, this show/books are base off of. Keep that in mind. G.R.R.M. based this series off of practices in this time period. He enjoys History. He's not condoning "child bride rape" or any kind of rape; nor is the show. In Medieval times; you went from a child to adult, there was no in between, like today. You got married off as a teen, for: money, land, an alliance, and political gain, etc. Rarely for love. You "feminist" sure do love to twist things into something that they, objectively, aren't. Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire books has some of the strongest female characters in any TV show or book(s); and they're in abundance. If you really want to be such a fighter of women's rights, then go fucking do volunteer work in Africa where the raping and genital mutilation of young girls for merely getting an education is a REAL issue. Not make some ignorant, snarky remark about G.R.R.M. on youtube. But you wont, you just want to be FAKE -outraged over a TV series, then call yourself a feminist.
+chris zanotti Sure does. Writing with punctuation, capital letters, spelling and proper grammar on youtube is pretty mad. Apparently so is having a coherent argument.
+Atherith Coherence is easy, that doesn't make something true. As for punctuation, there were a few places where semi-colons were more appropriate than commas. A bit less smarm would go a long way.
And you seriously expect everyone to know the intricacies of every European societies culture? Not everyone knows what Andorra or Romansh are, so don't be so condescending.
Whoah, is Switzerland so backwards that they cheer when someone says something as simple as "women are people?" Or are people just that enthralled by Martin?
The number one rule when interviewing an author should be to _never_ ask them, "Where do you get your ideas?" Not saying the interviewer did that, haven't finished the video, but so many do and the, "How do you keep everything straight?" question came close, and should definitely be number 2 judging by GRRM's reaction.
@@ericmartinez1665 You haven't watched many interviews of writers, have you? You'd realize the question itself is dumb if you knew anything about the creative writing process or how often that question is asked. It's such a frequently asked and hated question that it's become a joke in the industry.
![An Evening with George R. R. Martin [CC]](/img/1.gif)
I like how the host knew his GRRM material front to back, not just A Song of Ice and Fire.
Yes.
Very true. The event was about Martin and only Martin, not the host.
My favorite part of this video is the cute giggling sprinkled through out.
I like how this interview got a little more out of him than other interviewers
😃✊👍😆
I love George's sense of humor.
"Translator is coming...and so is winter." Is it even possible to not love that guy?

George : 👁👄👁
Audience : 😂😂😂😂
Thank you very much Liz. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Yes he was in a very cheery mood. I'm guessing he was very comfortable surrounded by such nice people.
What a character, memorable as fuck. Writes rad stories, looks like some kinda sailor of the olden times and says what he thinks. Cool dude!
Love this guy.
Enjoyed it again.
It’s not easy to command a crowd the way this man does. GRRM for president.
I love the random giggling! lol
Nice interview.
Finally a decent interviewer
THANK YOU!
Intelligent interview.
George is hilarious 😂😂😂

I know this from university, too... XD
'Armageddon Rag' - One of his best Novels ! Read it.
Should be the Motivation for a film too
Maesterclass
Il est marrant ;)
16:22 GRRM suggests a good exercise for individuating your characters.
I can't find anywhere ''The heart of a small boy'' speech that he mentioned at around 23:50 minute mark, anyone knows how to find it?
It’s a short joke that came from a horror writer. Might have been Richard Matheson. Later the joke was often used by Stephen King
Everybody got so sad when he answered the favorite character/kids question.
The lady recording this may have directed the long night..,😉

I don’t know if it’s just me, or does Martin speak in a very Tyrion-istic way?!
If so, then it's that Tyrion speaks in a very Martin way
@@Baamthe25th ofc
Im confused, why is it in french if this is in switzerland?
+Blazekingz French is the official language in many parts of switzerland. ;)
+Blazekingz Are you seriously that sheltered?
littleripper312
and by sheltered you mean not knowing a second language in one country i dont care about?
+Blazekingz In few countries only 1 language is spoken
And you seriously expect everyone to know the intricacies of every European societies culture? Not everyone knows what Andorra or Romansh are, so don't be so condescending.
Excellent interview.
They need a better cameraman.
Whoah, is Switzerland so backwards that they cheer when someone says something as simple as "women are people?" Or are people just that enthralled by Martin?
