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.

More quotes by 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
In Britain people might know me more for my comedy writing background, things like that.
Charlie Brooker
In many ways, Big Brother is the present day equivalent of a 1980s Club 18-30 Holiday - flirting, sunbathing, silly little organised games, and lots of people you'd like to remove from the genepool with a cricket bat.
Charlie Brooker
[One of my kids ]is not named after Aldous Huxley. I haven't even read Brave New World!
Charlie Brooker
One of the benefits of aligning yourself with an indistinct cluster of people is that claiming to feel their pain is often enough.
Charlie Brooker
I mean, sometimes we do do that, The National Anthem was a caustic satire and sometimes that's the way to go with the story rather than me being particularly misanthropic.
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
'Waldo' was one episode I always felt I didn't quite crack. And weirdly, now that feels like one of the more prescient ones.
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 am neurotic, and I'm a worrier.
Charlie Brooker
Technology isn't the villain and the people aren't often really the villain so much as they're weak.
Charlie Brooker
I'm somewhat socially inept. Slide me between two strangers at any light-hearted jamboree and I'll either rock awkwardly and silently on my heels, or come out with a stone-cold conversation-killer like, This room's quite rectangular, isn't it? I glide through the social whirl with all the elegance of a dog in high heels
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
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
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
Most of the books I read these days are children's books at bedtime.
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
Man the lifeboats. The idiots are winning.
Charlie Brooker
Whenever I tell people I'm a misanthrope they react as though that's a bad thing, the idiots. I live in London, for God's sake. Have you walked down Oxford Street recently? Misanthropy's the only thing that gets you through it. It's not a personality flaw, it's a skill.
