Writing for adults often means just increasing the swearing - but find an alternative to swearing and you've probably got a better line.

More quotes by Steven Moffat
I'd forgotten not all victories are about saving the universe.
Steven Moffat
Sherlock Holmes can be wise and funny. He wasn't, at the beginning. But later on, he's got a bantering relationship with loads of people. He's got a wisdom that he didn't have in the early stage. But he stays on the mountain top, and he will die up there. He's not going to change that.
Steven Moffat
My priorities are where they should be, which is making really great, really exciting television.
Steven Moffat
You can be as beautiful and charming as you'd like, but if you're not terrific at acting, it will mean nothing on the screen.
Steven Moffat
I think training in comedy, as it were, a history writing comedy, is a powerful tool for anyone.
Steven Moffat
Rule 1: The Doctor lies.
Steven Moffat
What is immutable about Sherlock Holmes? He favors reason over emotion, but actually underneath that, there is a lot of emotion going on. You can't suddenly make him ordinary because he would hate that. He's not suddenly going to be somebody else.
Steven Moffat
Keep this straight in your head: we are not fighting an alien invasion - we're leading a revolution. And today the battle begins.
Steven Moffat
You want weapons? We're in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world!
Steven Moffat
Witty and mean is easy - but fond and funny is hard.
Steven Moffat
Though the man above might say hello, expect no love from the beast below
Steven Moffat
There’s this issue you’re not allowed to discuss: that women are needy. Men can go for longer, more happily, without women. That’s the truth. We don’t, as little boys, play at being married - we try to avoid it for as long as possible. Meanwhile women are out there hunting for husbands.
Steven Moffat
I think of myself as a writer with a sense of humour rather than a comedy writer. Happy to tell a story with lots of jokes in it - I wouldn't know how to do jokes without the story.
Steven Moffat
Being the only writer on a successful show is very rewarding.
Steven Moffat
When writing comedy, you have to have the confidence to believe that there is only one type of relationship in the world, and we are all having it, that all men behave in the same way and so do all women.
Steven Moffat
The trouble with a series as it gets older is it can feel like a tradition, and tradition is the enemy of suspense, and it's the enemy of comedy. It's the enemy of everything, really. So you have to shake it up.
Steven Moffat
We have a plan to top it. And I do think our plan is devastating. We’ve practically reduced our cast to tears telling them the plan … we’re probably more excited that we’ve ever been about Sherlock.
Steven Moffat
It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool.
Steven Moffat
You'll go out of business if you think people are stupid.
Steven Moffat
You should always waste time when you don't have any. Time is not the boss of you. Rule 408.
Steven Moffat
