I've never watched reality shows, except for the Great British Bake Off, which is magnificent.

Live all of your life. Understand it, see it, appreciate it. And have fun.

If I had created reality television I would have had a much greater influence, but then I would have had to KILL MYSELF.

You know, I always was an early morning or late night writer. Early morning was my favorite; late night was because you had a deadline. And at four in the morning you make up some of your most absurd jokes.

Ultimately what I end up writing about is helplessness and the flipside of that, empowerment.

If you're going to make a science fiction movie, then have a hover craft chase, for God's sake.

Paul Hollywood's "You're under baked" is even better than "You're fired."
