On writing fantasy: "The world should just build in the background. You should get to know it by experience, not by having to be told in page after page and getting a whole world history, because that's boring. People tend to skim that kind of stuff. I like to try and write so if people skim they'll totally ruin the book, and I try to make everything entertaining enough that they won't want to."
