Writing for adults often means just increasing the swearing - but find an alternative to swearing and you've probably got a better line.
From Steven Moffat
To me, a 'brand' sounds evil.
If anyone said to me 'invent a new monster so we can sell more toys', I'd kick them out of my office.
When you're surrounded by friends and exes, there's a whole lot of stuff that starts crawling out. But however serious and traumatic those experiences may be to the participant, to the onlooker they're hilarious.
My problem is that the audience is more fiction-literate than ever. In Shakespeare's day, you probably expected to see a play once or twice in your life; today you experience four or five different kinds of fiction every day. So staying ahead of the audience is impossible.
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 write the kind of stuff I'd like to watch.
I don't want to think that the stories are finite; I want to feel that they can go on forever.
I always tend to favor the newer idea.
The difference between a beautifully made failure and a beautifully made hit is who you've got playing the leads.
