More quotes by 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
You'll go out of business if you think people are stupid.
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
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
It's a funny thing about stories. It doesn't feel like you make them up, more like you find them. You type and type and you know you haven't got it yet, because somewhere out there, there's that perfect thing -- the unexpected ending that was always going to happen. That place you've always been heading for, but never expected to go.
Steven Moffat
What's the point of being a grown-up if you don't get to be immature?
Steven Moffat
An awful lot of storytelling isn't really about making people understand - it's about making people care.
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
You want weapons? We're in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world!
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
We're thrilled to have Maisie Williams joining us on Doctor Who. It's not possible to say too much about who or what she's playing, but she is going to challenge the Doctor in very unexpected ways. This time he might just be out of his depth, and we know Maisie is going to give him exactly the right sort of hell.
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
I always tend to favor the newer idea.
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.
Steven Moffat
It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool.
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
I think training in comedy, as it were, a history writing comedy, is a powerful tool for anyone.
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
Rule 1: The Doctor lies.

Kathy Nightingale: What's good about sad? Sally Sparrow: It's happy for deep people.
