More quotes by Steven Knight
In other words, when you have someone [like Ridley Scott] with that authority, then you tend to be left alone. But they were good and they're really good people, and I'm a big champion of the BBC and I think that like minds find each other and I think that FX and BBC is a perfect match.
Steven Knight
I think it creates so many more opportunities and pitfalls in that you are treading on fresh snow, so you're in a new place.
Steven Knight
I like to create a character where you believe, deep down, that they don't really care if they live or die. That's very liberating for the character because, if the character is prepared to die, then they can do anything. It's impossible to stop them.
Steven Knight
I must have been about 11 when I read the book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, which I read, over and over again.
Steven Knight
I've realized that the only thing I'm interested in is the performance. If the performance is right, then I'm happy. You offer up the dialogue and then the performance comes around.
Steven Knight
No screenplay is possible, unless you get some attachment from somebody who's going to get it made.
Steven Knight
[Woman Walks Ahead] is from me being a very bizarre child. From the age of about 8 to the age of about 15, I was obsessed with Native Americans.
Steven Knight
Whenever I see a cut of a film and something is gone, I don't notice it unless it obviously should have been kept.
Steven Knight
Snoop [Dog] said [Peaky Blinders] reminded him of how he got involved with gang culture. It's always fantastically flattering when I see people dress like that and take on the look.
Steven Knight
With FX in particular, they've been fantastic and were really hands off. I mean, it helps that you've got Ridley Scott on your side.
Steven Knight
There's lots of different ways of writing stuff and lots of different mindsets to have, but I think when it's your own creation, it's more pleasurable because you have total control.
Steven Knight
I didn't direct [the Taboo episodes]. I wrote all of them.
Steven Knight
When I was probably about 10 or 11, and I found it was simply something I could do. When you're at school and you do something and you get praised for it, you think, Oh, right, well I'll do that. From then on, I always thought I'd be a writer. I thought novels at first, and then I sort of naturally drifted into TV.
Steven Knight
I've spent three hours with Snoop Dogg, talking about how he loved [Peaky Blinders series]. And David Bowie loved it. The late Leonard Cohen was a fan. It struck a chord with various people that I didn't think it would.
Steven Knight
When Brad [Pitt] responded [to Allied], suddenly what was impossible became possible, which was great. But along the way, whenever I told the story, it had an affect on people. At its core, this was an effective story.
Steven Knight
There's something about the evolution of television where it evolved from to the things that we're now watching and loving. It evolved from film writers, film actors, and I think gradually people are easing themselves into the amount of time they have.
Steven Knight
I find the best way to make things real is to just put two characters into a space and let them talk to each other in the way that they would talk to each other, and then see what they would say. I know it sounds weird, but that leads the plot and takes you in another direction.
Steven Knight
East India Company weren't an evil organization that went around deliberately oppressing people, but they were driven by profit, and how familiar is that now?
Steven Knight
I'm very bad at watching anything. I'm bad at going to theaters I can't watch my own stuff I watch a lot of sports.
Steven Knight
[Taboo] has been exactly the same as working with the BBC in that creatively they do that precious thing which is to only make a comment when a comment needs to be made.
