More quotes by 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
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
It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool.
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
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.
Steven Moffat
All lives end. All hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage.
Steven Moffat
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
When you're surrounded by friends and exes, there's a whole lot of stuff that starts crawling out. But however serious and traumatic those experiences may be to the participant, to the onlooker they're hilarious.
Steven Moffat
If you don't expect to like someone and then you do, that's an incredibly exciting moment.
Steven Moffat
Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, in which case, always ignore a coincidence.
Steven Moffat
Peter Capaldi, will always be Doctor Who. You retain the title forever. Ask your predecessors, they all think they're the real one. I've had Sunday lunch with Peter Davidson and David Tennant and they're eyeing each other like, 'It's me!
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
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.
Steven Moffat
An awful lot of storytelling isn't really about making people understand - it's about making people care.
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
Being the only writer on a successful show is very rewarding.
Steven Moffat
Fascinatingly confident, rude people are great.
Steven Moffat
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
Amy: I had something I wanted to tell him. Stuff always gets in the way. Canton: Stuff does that.
Steven Moffat
Reinette: One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel.
