About his fans: They are so supportive, loyal, intelligent, some of them normal, and committed to something that I really love doing and a character that I like playing, and other characters, as well. It means a lot to me. It means a hell of a lot to me. One of the biggest thrills I had, when the first season launched, was to look at the book sales shoot up. That makes me very, very happy. Books are good. We wouldn’t be here without them.
