00:00I think they're ready for us.
00:01Well, I'm ready also.
00:03For what?
00:05You know what? We're going to discover together.
00:07The thing that I think I probably get asked the most is what drew me to wanting to write The
00:13Witcher.
00:13What drew you to want to create The Witcher?
00:16For me, it's still a great mystery of life.
00:20It was some impulse, something that came out of the sky.
00:24And then becoming a full-time writer was something that I never imagined.
00:29Never.
00:31Speaking of The Witcher, you came to see, we're actually filming that short story here today.
00:36How did you feel before walking onto the set the first time to see what has come to life?
00:41I've never been on the set of no movie at all.
00:45So for me, everything is a big surprise, a big event.
00:49To be part of it practically, to see it with my own eyes.
00:54Incredible. Something incredible.
00:56I'm very satisfied to be here. Thank you very much.
00:59Oh, thank you for coming.
01:01We would not be here without you, so that's the...
01:03You know, I'm the guy who's guilty as charged.
01:07Yes. Yes, you are.
01:09Is there anything that you are worried about the adaptation of?
01:13Is there anything that you are scared to see brought to life?
01:15No. I'm not scared at all because I know perfectly well, being an old guy in the sea, that you
01:25cannot judge the soup by the groceries, you know?
01:30I'm so glad you say that because people ask me all the time too.
01:33There are so many different things that go into this production.
01:35You brought up casting, obviously there's the scripts that we write, and then it's what's actually happening here every day,
01:41which is all of the little tiny pieces that are coming together, the sets that we're on, the action that
01:45we just saw.
01:46All of that will come together, but it can't be judged until it's a product.
01:49Right now it's just pieces.
01:50Are there any stories from the first two books, Sword of Destiny and The Last Wish, that you really look
01:55forward to seeing adapted, that you want to be adapted?
01:58Do you have a favorite one?
02:00Hard to say because you are asking me right now which of your daughters is the most beautiful, yes?
02:06Yes I am.
02:07They are all beautiful. Maybe lesser evil?
02:10That's one of my favorites too.
02:12We have really gone back to the short stories because I feel like that's where a lot of the world
02:16building happened.
02:17I started with the short stories. It was my beginning because it was a must because nobody will publish the
02:25book.
02:25Right.
02:27Okay, last question. It's a tough one.
02:29Good. Good, sir.
02:30Are you going to watch the show?
02:32Absolutely. Of course. I wait. I'm not an impatient guy. I would like to have a soup, not the groceries.
02:40Maybe we'll watch it together at one point.
02:43Okay.
02:44That's a deal.
02:45That's a deal.
02:56That's a deal.
02:56I'm sorry.
02:56Grazie.
