Il y répète que c'est Tyrion son personnage préféré :
"GRRM: You're looking at him, kid! Yeah, it's Tyrion. It's always been Tyrion. His chapters are the ones that most often write themselves. He’s a bit of a smart-aleck, he’s very driven, he’s very tormented, all of that makes for rich stuff, and I enjoy writing the Tyrion chapters. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s safe, but he is my favorite character in A Song of Ice and Fire."
Et il évoque aussi une éventuelle suite à Fevre Dream (Riverdream en français, paru chez Mnémos)
"GRRM: Well, I've had an idea for a Fevre Dream sequel for a decade and a half now. It's just a matter of finding the time to write it. But yes, I would definitely like to do a sequel of sorts to Fevre Dream, I mean it would be set in the same universe and it would be some of the characters would come back, but not all of the characters. So it would be a sequel of sorts, but yes, I would like to do that, and I'd like to do another Tuf Voyaging. Of course, my Wild Card books are something I've continued all the way through this, I've continued to edit, and write for the Wild Card series of anthologies. Now I don't write all of those, but I am the editor, and do considerable writing for those. We're about to re-launch those with a whole new generation of Wild Card characters. It's all part of telling stories and telling different kinds of stories, which is what I aim for."
Il a également donné une interview à WEIRD TALES

Il parle de l'après Trône de Fer...
"WT: Of course once The Song of Ice and Fire is done, the publisher could say, “This is so successful, here’s five million dollars. Write me another one.” What then?
GRRM: I do wrestle with that. I figure it remains to be seen what will happen to me after Ice and Fire, the reception the next book will get. In some ways you never know. Is your audience going to follow you when you do something different? I now have hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of readers, but are they Ice and Fire readers, or are they George R.R. Martin readers? Until I do my first new book after the series, I’m not going to know. You see examples on both sides in our field. You see someone like Stephen R. Donaldson, who can achieve huge sales with the Covenant series, but then when he moves to science fiction with the Gap series, it doesn’t sell very well. On the other hand, you see someone like Stephen King. He can do stand-alone horror novels and the Dark Tower series and they all sell equally well. So King readers are really King readers, not readers of a particular book or a particular series. But Donaldson’s readers were Covenant fans, not Donaldson fans. I don’t know. But it is certainly something that concerns me. I am not going to say that I am going to be done with Westeros forever, this world I have created, but it is certainly not the only thing I want to write. So once it is done, I certainly will attempt to do other things in science fiction or horror or even in other genres that I haven’t touched on yet, and the question remains, will my audience follow me there?"
