Lords are gold and knights steel, but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and lead, tin and copper and bronze and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people.

I work for two years on a book and it comes out and two days later I've got my first e-mail: When is the next one coming out?

The Iron Throne is mine by rights. All those who deny that are my foes. The whole of the realm denies it, brother, said Renley. Old men deny it with their death rattle, and unborn children deny it in their mothers' wombs. They deny it in Dorne and they deny it on the Wall. No one wants you for their king. Sorry.
