mind tiny looks
Madness is just what a genius looks like to a tiny mind.
fighting battle invasion
Keep this straight in your head: we are not fighting an alien invasion we're leading a revolution . And today the battle begins.
strong-women character ideas
I find it's bizarre that science fiction is the one branch of television to push the idea of strong female characters. And I only call it bizarre because strong women aren't fiction.
adventure action boxes
Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman are back in Cardiff, back in the box, and back in action-for one of our scariest adventures yet!
witty mean writing
Witty and mean is easy - but fond and funny is hard.
writing self people
I know this is going to sound very self-serving, and I apologize for it, but if you can write comedy, you can pretty much write anything, because it's the hardest. It's the most technically demanding, the most precisely evaluated form of writing. People know if it works or not. There's a big button marked 'fail,' and that's when nobody laughs.
people rude
Fascinatingly confident, rude people are great.
aids british duty
As we all know, it is the proper duty of every British subject to come to the aid of the TARDIS.
dark men fire
When man invented fire, he didn't say, "Hey, let's cook." He said, "Great, now we can see naked bottoms in the dark.
unimportant-things way vices
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and...bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant.
husband boys men
There’s this issue you’re not allowed to discuss: that women are needy. Men can go for longer, more happily, without women. That’s the truth. We don’t, as little boys, play at being married - we try to avoid it for as long as possible. Meanwhile women are out there hunting for husbands.
men wife worried
If you take most men aside when their wives are pregnant, most men are pretty frightened and worried and faintly disgusted by the whole experience.
television way rounds
Between the marriages, I shagged my way round television studios like a mechanical digger.
sexy
Brainy's the new sexy.
