If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best.
Steven Moffat
Image
If you take most men aside when their wives are pregnant, most men are pretty frightened and worried and faintly disgusted by the whole experience.
Steven Moffat
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

What's the point of being a grown-up if you don't get to be immature?

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

An awful lot of storytelling isn't really about making people understand - it's about making people care.
Steven Moffat
Image
My priorities are where they should be, which is making really great, really exciting television.

Image
I always rip out the last page of a book. Then it doesn't have to end. I hate endings!
Steven Moffat
Image
You should always waste time when you don't have any. Time is not the boss of you. Rule 408.
Steven Moffat
Image
Fascinatingly confident, rude people are great.
Steven Moffat
Image
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.
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.

River Song? Amy Pond? Hardly weak women. It's the exact opposite. You could accuse me of having a fetish for powerful, sexy women who like cheating people. That would be fair.
Steven Moffat
Image
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.

You'll go out of business if you think people are stupid.
Steven Moffat
Image
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
Image
I always tend to favor the newer idea.
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.
