Brainy's the new sexy.
Steven Moffat

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
Image
Don't play games with me! You just killed someone I like, that is not a safe place to stand! I'm the Doctor, and you're in the biggest library in the Universe. Look me up.
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
Image
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

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

Have you met the French? My...GOD they know how to party!

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.

I don't think, generally speaking, people become writers because they were the really good, really cool, attractive kid in class. I'll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that, I suppose.

I like that Helen Mirren has been saying the next doctor should be a woman. I would like to go on record and say that the Queen should be played by a man!
Steven Moffat
Image
Though the man above might say hello, expect no love from the beast below
Steven Moffat
Image
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.

Writing for adults often means just increasing the swearing - but find an alternative to swearing and you've probably got a better line.
Steven Moffat
Image
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
Image
Like most writers, I write about what has happened to me as that involves the minimum amount of research.
Steven Moffat
Image
If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best.
Steven Moffat
Image
You should always waste time when you don't have any. Time is not the boss of you. Rule 408.

Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman are back in Cardiff, back in the box, and back in action - for one of our scariest adventures yet!

I'd forgotten not all victories are about saving the universe.
