Garth Nix

If there's a child in a drama or an action-adventure movie, they're someone who needs to be saved, someone who needs to be protected, or if they're killed, someone who needs to be avenged. Their character doesn't matter much. George R. R. Martin

Needs Character Matter Think Saved Drama Television Someone Point Point Of View Adult Protected Child Movie Story Much View Who Film

I just got hooked on the radio, the voice of it all. It was my connection to metropolitan America, if you will.

George Will
