I'm not sure I'd have said, 'I'm a fantasy viewer.' Now I know I am, because I sat and watched 'Game of Thrones' and have never been more invested in a show in my life.

To me, I love when, as a viewer, I can be on a journey with a character, and not just hearing about something that happened in the past.

It's like, if you have a story that's already great, then the thing that we can shift is how we're telling that story, how we're presenting it to the world.

I fell in love with David Bowie in 'Labyrinth'. That's probably the initial fantasy movie that I saw and fell in love with.

That, to me, is the core of fantasy - real people in a crazy environment, dealing with crazy problems. That's what I think the books of 'The Witcher' did really well, and it's what attracted me to them, in the first place.

I think that anytime you're doing casting and you're casting something that has a lot of existing fans you're going to get a lot of opinions about whether it matches fans vision.

I like fantasy, but I don't live and breathe fantasy.

For me, the biggest surprise? I had no idea how worldwide the fandom for 'The Witcher' was.

Nice doesn't mean 'naive.' Nice doesn't mean 'gullible.' In my job, one of the most important things to be is decisive and firm.

Sure, there are moments that you can escape, and you can sit back and just enjoy it, but one of the most fun things about 'The Witcher' is that it reflects on our real world, in big thematic ways, in political ways, and in cultural ways.
