More quotes by Charlie Brooker
Obviously, you try not to repeat yourself so that forces you to re-evaluate what you're doing constantly [in Black Mirror].
Charlie Brooker
What we were also trying to do is vary the tone slightly across the season of Black Mirror, because there are six stories this time around, so you don't want it to just be the devastating, bleak-em-up.
Charlie Brooker
As long as we've still got crazy what if ideas, we can continue [Black Mirror]. It's outpacing reality that's probably the challenge.
Charlie Brooker
Hi-def is merely the latest in a string of evolutional leaps that have transformed the way we sit slumped in front of a box wishing we were dead.
Charlie Brooker
I am neurotic, and I'm a worrier.
Charlie Brooker
That's not something that we've gone in thinking 'Right! How are we going to examine that now?' It's just when you take a step back you see that they're actually all sort of in that mode.
Charlie Brooker
I think people are starting to look away and questioning, and they're sort of horrified.
Charlie Brooker
I think more and more people became aware that social media was starting to feel like a more toxic space. And, I mean - quite a lot of incidents of people getting very, very angry about all kinds of things and attacking people.
Charlie Brooker
You sort of perform your personality, I guess, to everyone on some level.
Charlie Brooker
Proper work usually involves performing a task you hate on behalf of people you'd gleefully club to death with a bull's knee if only it were legal to do so.
Charlie Brooker
On the other hand [making a string of one-off episodes], there's a real freedom, because you're kind of reinventing the show every week.
Charlie Brooker
I can worry about anything.
Charlie Brooker
I wasn't really aware they were a religious organization for quite some time. But my grandparents were very devout and ran a Quaker meetinghouse and were missionaries at one point.
Charlie Brooker
[One of my kids ]is not named after Aldous Huxley. I haven't even read Brave New World!
Charlie Brooker
In Britain people might know me more for my comedy writing background, things like that.
Charlie Brooker
I'm terrible at reading fiction. I don't have the attention span - it's awful.
Charlie Brooker
[My parents when I was a kid] would go, It's a nice hot day. Why are you inside watching the TV? And you go, Well, 'cause it's better?
Charlie Brooker
Your grades are not your destiny: they're just letters and numbers which rate how well you performed in one artificial arena, once.
Charlie Brooker
[Black Mirror] is always about unforeseen consequences and unforeseen problems, it's not usually that someone's created a machine that they want to enslave mankind with, it's someone's invented a new kind of... paperweight that enslaves mankind.
Charlie Brooker
Everyone had clearly spent far too long perfecting their appearance. I used to feel intimidated by people like this now I see them as walking insecurity beacons, slaves to the perceived judgment of others, trapped within a self- perpetuating circle of crushing status anxiety.
Charlie Brooker
