You have to take your own bold approach, and if you do you will be rewarded with success. Or calamitous failure. That can happen too.

Witty and mean is easy - but fond and funny is hard.

Keep this straight in your head: we are not fighting an alien invasion - we're leading a revolution. And today the battle begins.

Time travel is always more magical somehow when you go into the past. Traveling into the future is something you do, every day. You're just not going to get very far. So, I rather like the past travel.

I find it's bizarre that science fiction is the one branch of television to push the idea of strong female characters. And I only call it bizarre because strong women aren't fiction.
Steven Moffat

An awful lot of storytelling isn't really about making people understand - it's about making people care.

Being the only writer on a successful show is very rewarding.

It's a TV show. Only the emotional damage is real.

I always tend to favor the newer idea.

I'll be a story in your head. That's okay. We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? 'Cause it was, you know. It was the best. The daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well I borrowed it. I was always going to take it back.

Though the man above might say hello, expect no love from the beast below

I can say with pride verging on smugness that I've got two very successful shows that assume their audience is very smart.
Steven Moffat

When man invented fire, he didn't say, Hey, let's cook. He said, Great, now we can see naked bottoms in the dark.

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

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.

Everybody knows that everybody dies. But not every day. Not today. Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody dies at all. Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call, everybody lives.

My problem is that the audience is more fiction-literate than ever. In Shakespeare's day, you probably expected to see a play once or twice in your life today you experience four or five different kinds of fiction every day. So staying ahead of the audience is impossible.
