For that matter, if I write a script and direct it myself, and work with the art directors and everybody else, what I’m shooting is not going to be the thing in my head, either. If I had written, “Two people were having a picnic in a meadow under a tree,” and you picked me a meadow and a tree, it still won’t look like the one in my head. And then, I have to explain that the most faithful adaptations in the world couldn’t be the thing that I had in my head. I always wind up saying, “No, it’s nothing like the thing in my head,” and then people always look sad. GAIMAN: I love the question and it’s one that I get asked, every single time something of mine is turned into a film or into something for TV. How close is this adaptation, visually, to what you saw in your imagination? Does it come close, or is there no way for it to ever fully be what you saw in your own head? And there was a lot of sex in the book, too, but you may not have actually registered it.” GAIMAN: I love the fact that someone tweeted to me saying that they didn’t remember all of this full frontal nudity, and I remember thinking, “Well, there was an awful lot of blood and an awful lot of nudity in the book. It’s just so great that Starz is not scared of putting material like this on television.
