Fascinatingly confident, rude people are great.
Steven Moffat
Though the man above might say hello, expect no love from the beast below
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.

Amy: Can I come? Doctor: Not safe in here, not yet. Five minutes. Give me five minutes and I'll be right back. Amy: People always say that. Doctor: Am I people?...Do I even look like people?...Trust me, I'm the Doctor.

Witty and mean is easy - but fond and funny is hard.
Steven Moffat
If you don't expect to like someone and then you do, that's an incredibly exciting moment.
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
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
You should always waste time when you don't have any. Time is not the boss of you. Rule 408.
Steven Moffat
When writing comedy, you have to have the confidence to believe that there is only one type of relationship in the world, and we are all having it, that all men behave in the same way and so do all women.
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
Like most writers, I write about what has happened to me as that involves the minimum amount of research.
Steven Moffat
What's the point of being a grown-up if you don't get to be immature?
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
If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best.
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.
