He didn't say this to his fans, he said it to the people speculating on his death. Those that are doing this claim to be fans, but what type of fan sits around speculating on an author's death? "George RR Martin is not your bitch."
If you think fans, especially ones who have been reading the series long before it became this popular, hasn't speculated whether he'll live to finish the series then I don't know what to tell you.
That doesn't make them any less of a fan either. It's a legitimate discussion when you consider other writers have died before series have been finished and it required other writers or mediums to finish it.

See Robert Jordan with Wheel of Time.
The real question is, would Martin leave notes and designate someone to finish his series? I kind of doubt it.

I understand what you're saying, and I hate to use you as an example, but I just so happens you responded.
You, like a hand full of other on this board, have always garnered my attention and have been part of my "favorite posters" list. I read y'all opinions and even though I may not always agree with what y'all say, I respect and enjoy it. Those opinions sometimes influence what I watch or read.
If I was to sit here and speculate on what would happen to people on here whose opinion I respect, that would be some fricked up shite.
Is okay to worry that the man doesn't look to be in a health state because of his weight? Of course we do it with our loved ones everyday. What's not okay is saying how and when that person will die. It's taking cynicism to a whole new morbid level. Something I feel no one on here truly wants to come off as.

I sort of understand both sides to this. While saying frick you wasn't the best decision, people talking about him being fat and dying is pretty messed up. That's what he's referring to.
OTOH he has to be the slowest writer ever. I'm not a reader, but I'm familiar of the release dates of each novel and there is no excuse for it to take that many years between novels. JK Rowling almost wrote the entire Harry Potter series in between two of his novels. He doesn't owe the fans, but he does have a responsibility to the work and the story. He could start by quit giving interviews like this and go back to work.
