River Song? Amy Pond? Hardly ...

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.

There's something really cool about scaring children. Traumatize a generation, that's what it's all about.

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.

I wouldn't mind removing all ...

I wouldn't mind removing all the mistakes I have made. That would be exhausting and take forever. Honestly, it's one of the spells of my life that has been the most perfect. Not because I did the job perfectly, because of course I did it very imperfectly, but because I enjoyed it so much. What would I change? I complain a lot. I whinge, I more or less communicate in levels of complaint so I wish sometimes I didn't just spend all my time saying, 'I'm working so hard, what do I get in return for this?'.

I was called a misogynist because I was reducing women to mothers. 'Reducing women to mothers' - now there is possibly the most anti-women statement I've heard.

I absolutely love television,...

I absolutely love television, and I don't mean to be vulgar, but as I keep having to explain to people from the movie industry, I get more power and more money doing television, so why on earth would I do a film?

The difference between a beautifully made failure and a beautifully made hit is who you've got playing the leads.

Steven Moffat 137 quotes

The trouble with a series as ...

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 137 quotes

I think of myself as a writer...

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.

Cinema is so slow and boring compared to television.

Steven Moffat 137 quotes

My priorities are where they should be, which is making really great, really exciting television.

Steven Moffat 137 quotes

I can't see what's wrong abou...

I can't see what's wrong about assuming intelligence in your audience and what's bad news about being rewarded for assuming that.

Steven Moffat 137 quotes

I know this is going to sound...

I know this is going to sound very self-serving, and I apologize for it, but if you can write comedy, you can pretty much write anything, because it's the hardest. It's the most technically demanding, the most precisely evaluated form of writing. People know if it works or not. There's a big button marked 'fail,' and that's when nobody laughs.

Steven Moffat 137 quotes

If anyone said to me 'invent ...

If anyone said to me 'invent a new monster so we can sell more toys', I'd kick them out of my office.

The way you get your script to the right people is that you put it in an envelope. It's easy. The difficult bit is writing something that is so good people will take a punt on a brand new writer.

Steven Moffat 137 quotes

My problem is that the audien...

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.

I think training in comedy, as it were, a history writing comedy, is a powerful tool for anyone.

Steven Moffat 137 quotes

Writing for adults often means just increasing the swearing - but find an alternative to swearing and you've probably got a better line.

People don't really have a relationship with great writing or great production or great art direction or great direction. They just sort of admire it.
