More quotes by Charlie Brooker
I can worry about anything.
Charlie Brooker
In summary, our world is doomed.
Charlie Brooker
We've got characters in the UK like Boris Johnson, who's kind of like a proto Trump in many ways even down to the crazy blonde hair. Then Mayor of London, now Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson was widely seen as a cartoonish oaf and that made him strangely undentable as a politician. No one could land a blow on him because he was already ridiculous.
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
We take things that would have struck us as miraculous five years ago for granted. Like Pokémon Go would have been insane, and now it's just like, Oh, okay.
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
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
My theory is that we used to have several personalities, and now we're encouraged to have one online.
Charlie Brooker
If technology is a drug – and it does feel like a drug – then what, precisely, are the side-effects?
Charlie Brooker
I think people are starting to look away and questioning, and they're sort of horrified.
Charlie Brooker
I'm terrible at reading fiction. I don't have the attention span - it's awful.
Charlie Brooker
I'm actually quite pro-technology, but I'm a worrier, so I like to envision worst-case scenarios.
Charlie Brooker
I would say the thing you can still see in Black Mirror is that I was probably traumatized by the specter of nuclear war. I was born in 1971, and in the '80s I came to understand that I was inevitably going to be frazzled to death in the nuclear apocalypse.
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
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
It's a barrel of laughs, isn't it? It makes The Day After look like friggin'...insert name of cheerful thing here. It was one of the things that made me really worry about worst-case scenarios. There's something impish and probably somewhat therapeutic about thinking about those things.
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
I've always had a bad attention span.
Charlie Brooker
What happens often is the script is written and once the director comes on board you have lots of conversations and it mutates again.
Charlie Brooker
Most of the books I read these days are children's books at bedtime.
