Though the man above might say hello, expect no love from the beast below.
It’s a TV show. Only the emotional damage is real.
River Song: Right then. 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.
So is this how it works Doctor? You never interfere with the affairs of other peoples or planets, unless there are children crying?
All lives end. All hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage.
I always rip out the last page of a book, then it doesn’t have to end. I hate endings.
If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best.
Amy: I had something I wanted to tell him. Stuff always gets in the way. Canton: Stuff does that.
We all change, when you think about it. We’re all different people all through our lives. And that’s OK, that’s good, you gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.
I can’t see what’s wrong about assuming intelligence in your audience and what’s bad news about being rewarded for assuming that.
There’s something really cool about scaring children. Traumatize a generation, that’s what it’s all about.
I’ll be a story in your head. But that’s OK. We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know; it was the best.
You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what’s right, even when everyone else just runs away.
An awful lot of storytelling isn’t really about making people understand – it’s about making people care.
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.
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.
The difference between a beautifully made failure and a beautifully made hit is who you’ve got playing the leads.
I like that Helen Mirren has been saying the next doctor should be a woman. I would like to go on record and say that the queen should be played by a man.
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 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.
