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

Steven Moffat
Brainy's the new sexy.
Steven Moffat
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
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
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
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
Rule 1: The Doctor lies.
