Quotes

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? Steven Moffat
You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful? and then you actually talk with them, and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick. But then there's other people, and you meet them and you think: "Not bad, they're okay," and then you get to know them, and their face sort of becomes them, like their personality's written all over it; and they just? and they turn into something so beautiful. [Simultaneously, with Older Amy] Rory is the most beautiful man I've ever met. Steven Moffat
You're guaranteed to be lucky several times in your life-it's what you do with it. Young writers spend all their time worrying, in a way that David Gerrold did not and I did not. How do they get to meet the right people? How do they get to the right parties? If only someone would read my script... Forget all that. All these things are easy and will happen. The way you get your script to the right people is that you put it in an envelope. It's fucking easy. The difficult bit is writing... Steven Moffat
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. Steven Moffat
I don't think, generally speaking, people become writers because they were the really good, really cool, attractive kid in class. I'll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that, I suppose. Steven Moffat
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
So is this how it works Doctor? You never interfere with the affairs of other peoples or planets, unless there's children crying? Steven Moffat
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually - from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff. Steven Moffat
I think that's the way people absorb television. All the explanations in Doctor Who are there if that's your bag, but they're not essential to your enjoyment of it. An awful lot of storytelling isn't really about making people understand? it's about making people care. Steven Moffat
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
Steven Moffat quote: "You'll go out of business if you think people are stupid."
You'll go out of business if you think people are stupid. Steven Moffat
Steven Moffat quote: "Fascinatingly confident, rude people are great."
Fascinatingly confident, rude people are great. Steven Moffat
