David Benioff

It is actually a lot harder to sit down and write from A to Z. But for me at least, it's the only way I can do it, at this point, with any moderate success.

With screenplays, it's all about being as concise as possible. If you have a scene that's set in a bar, you just have to write, 'Interior: Bar.'

'Game Of Thrones' was too big a canvas for a movie, but 'Dirty White Boys' is like a great old Western: there's so much compression, and it's so pressurized, it demands to be told in one sitting.

I don't like to get in front of people.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

You put deadlines on people you really don't want, because that's how you feel about them.
