There's nothing better than a party that turns into a death trap.

[David Tennant's] Doctor has such humanity, he seems to understand us and he's very warm, so he's a comforting Doctor to be with, and he enables us to be slightly scarier than we had been.

Rose:i love you Doctor:Quite right, and i guess if it's my last chance to say it... Rose Tyler... (the doctor fades, him in his TARDIS, with tear tracks and a tear running down his cheek)

My God, that scene in Monster Inc. where the monsters realise that their entire world is founded on hurting children -look at that for a change! Two galumphing cartoon characters making a shattering realisation about their world and their role in sustaining it. A truly epic moment. It's stunning.

I hate the idea that I have to represent any particular section of society; I just write good telly, that's all.

I love having debates with people when they are debates but some people, you just can't. Some people shouldn't be given the oxygen.

I would rather be confused for 10 minutes than bored for 5 seconds.
