You don't want to take over the universe. You wouldn't know what to do with it beyond shout at it.

You take this cold, remarkable, difficult, dangerous, borderline psychopath man, and you wonder what might have happened to him had he not met his best friend, a friend that no one would have put him with, this solid, dependable, brave, big-hearted war hero. I think people fall in love, not with Sherlock Holmes or Dr. Watson, but with their friendship. I think it is the most famous friendship in fiction, without a doubt.

If anyone said to me 'invent a new monster so we can sell more toys', I'd kick them out of my office.

I can say with pride verging on smugness that I've got two very successful shows that assume their audience is very smart.

You don't want to take over the universe. You wouldn't know what to do with it beyond shout at it.

Being the only writer on a successful show is very rewarding.

Though the man above might say hello, expect no love from the beast below
