You're a writer. Make it up.

I think, in a weird way, the reason I was drawn to screenwriting and the reason I really love doing it is because I love writing dialogue.

Once you realise that heroes die, everything becomes that much more terrifying.

I never understood people who said their greatest fear was public speaking, or spiders, or any of the other minor terrors. How could you fear anything more than death? Everything else offered moments of escape: a paralyzed man could still read Dickens; a man in the grips of dementia might have flashes of the must absurd beauty.

This is good, life must continue, we are fighting barbarians, but we must remain human.

Everyone knew this was the episode that was going to make or break the season.

I've never flown a kite.
