More quotes by Charlie Brooker

Charlie Brooker
While I was thinking about that, the military, I read a book called On Killing, about the obstacles people have to pulling the trigger in combat. So sometimes you just absorb all this stuff without realizing you were doing research.
Charlie Brooker
I tried to be all intellectual and erudite and with others I'd just swear and curse and be an idiot. And suddenly, when they're all in one space, I don't know who I am.
Charlie Brooker
Man the lifeboats. The idiots are winning.
Charlie Brooker
Many people find bald, unvarnished truths so disturbing, they prefer to ram their heads in the sand and start dreaming at the first sign of scientific reality.
Charlie Brooker
Technology is a global thing and wherever you go, people are prodding the same devices and worrying in the same way and have had their lives slightly altered in the same way.
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 think people are starting to look away and questioning, and they're sort of horrified.
Charlie Brooker
[The rumor that David Cameron maybe once did this unspeakable thing with a pig's head] it was freakish and weird. It seemed such a coincidence that I couldn't quite process it. And then, as it sank in, I genuinely had the thought, Am I living in a Truman Show sort of VR simulation designed to send me insane?
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
I am neurotic, and I'm a worrier.
Charlie Brooker
I really don't want to sound like overly negative or critical of the Internet in general because I'm actually really quite pro-technology.
Charlie Brooker
At the other end of the spectrum, George Gideon Oliver King Rameses Osborne, the fourteen-year-old novelty Chancellor and future baronet of Ballentaylor and Ballylemon - a man so posh he probably weeps champagne.
Charlie Brooker
The iPad falls between two stools - not quite a laptop, not quite a smartphone. In other words, it's the spork of the electronic consumer goods world.
Charlie Brooker
My kids are very young. I'm sure there's a world of horror for me to worry about as they get older.
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
I saw The Twilight Zone for the first time when I was 12 or 13. I used to stay up late to watch.
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
My continuum? Blimey! For me,Black Mirror is all part of the whole.
