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.

More quotes by Steven Knight
East India Company were a huge multinational that had the added impetus that they felt they were spreading Christian civilization around the world - so they were pretty free to do anything they wanted.
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
Just the idea that someone is married and they've got a kid, and he reports for work one morning and his boss says, You're wife is a spy. Shoot her. In the real story, he just went back and did it, which would have been a short film. Therefore, I had to spend some time exploring what you would do.
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
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'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
I'm not suggesting that ours [series] is unique in that, but they can begin to have that depth, that gravity, they can spend some time, so it's a bit more like reading a good novel, if you like.
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
In terms of how [Allied] looks, it's fantastic and much better than I had hoped because it's so lush and so beautifully executed.
Steven Knight
No screenplay is possible, unless you get some attachment from somebody who's going to get it made.
Steven Knight
I love cooking and kitchens.It's just a great world, and I wanted to explore it. You see the façade, the outside, the public part, and then you just walk through one door marked Staff Only and you're in a different universe.
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
I don't think that jealousy and love and hate and anger and all those things have changed in the past 200 years - people just express themselves differently.
Steven Knight
I didn't direct [the Taboo episodes]. I wrote all of them.
Steven Knight
I am someone who thinks that if you've got an actor like that who wants to perform your work, then you should do it, and hopefully Tom [Hardey] likes to do the work that I do, so long may it continue.
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
If you've read something brilliant, it's good. It's good to look out the window and see what's going on in the world.
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
It has to be an actress like Marion Cotillard [in Allied] because there are so many levels to it. It's set in the Second World War, when lots of people were doing things that, outside of a war, you wouldn't do, like killing and dropping bombs. She's doing things that one wouldn't approve of, but it's war.
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.
