Twins are under-represented in the media. Hamlet - never twins. Hamlet Twins Of Denmark. King And Queen Lear. It would work. Come on, more twins on television.
Steven Moffat
It’s been a long time since Sherlock Holmes jumped off that roof - it’s time to reveal the truth about what happened between him and the pavement.
Steven Moffat
Nothing can ever be a rule in drama, because then you're saying certain things won't ever happen, and that would be very boring.
Steven Moffat
River Song: Right, I have questions. But number one is this: what in the name of sanity have you got on your head? The Doctor: It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool.
Steven Moffat
Witty and mean is easy - but fond and funny is hard.
Steven Moffat
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
Like most writers, I write about what has happened to me as that involves the minimum amount of research.

I think training in comedy, as it were, a history writing comedy, is a powerful tool for anyone.
Steven Moffat
[The Doctor, Capt. Jack and Rose are cornered by the empty children.] The Doctor: Go to your room! Go to your room! I mean it. I'm very, very angry with you. I'm very, very cross! GO! TO! YOUR! ROOM! [The children lurch away and obey him.] I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words.
Steven Moffat
You'll go out of business if you think people are stupid.
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
Kathy Nightingale: What's good about sad? Sally Sparrow: It's happy for deep people.
Steven Moffat
An awful lot of storytelling isn't really about making people understand - it's about making people care.
Steven Moffat
Always take a banana to a party.
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.

Amy Pond: 'I thought... well, I started to think you were just a madman with a box.' The Doctor: 'Amy Pond, there's something you better understand about me, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. [He Smiles] I am definitely a madman with a box.
