As long as we’ve still got crazy what if ideas, we can continue [Black Mirror]. It’s outpacing reality that’s probably the challenge Picture Quote #1

Overall, looking at the stories [Black Mirror], almost every story we’ve ever done is concerned with authenticity or reality in some way Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to think overall. Some of our stories [Black Mirror], I think you’re right in that they don’t tend to have a message Picture Quote #1

I think overseas viewers assume that Black Mirror is written by the Unabomber, essentially - a LuddÃ‚Âite, technology-hating, angry old man waving his fist at the App Store Picture Quote #1

I’m a worrier. In the UK, if I’m known for anything, it’s sort of for being cynical Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the countryside . But there’s a danger of us romanticizing that. Because when I was a kid in 1982, that’s what my parents were saying to me about television and comics and computer games! Picture Quote #1

I suppose kids probably know less boredom these days - or at least a different kind of boredom Picture Quote #1

Women - why aren’t you running the world yet? Frankly I’m disappointed in you. Men are still far too dominant for their own good, and consequently we’ve made a testosterone-sodden pig’s ear of just about everything: politics, the economy, religion, the environment ... you name it, it’s in a gigantic man-wrought mess Picture Quote #1

While I was thinking about that, the military, I read a book called On Killing, about the obstacles people have to pulling the trigger in combat. So sometimes you just absorb all this stuff without realizing you were doing research Picture Quote #1

I’m not some anti-technology person. I think it’s often how people would assume that if they don’t know me Picture Quote #1

I’m terrible at reading fiction. I don’t have the attention span - it’s awful Picture Quote #1

I think more and more people became aware that social media was starting to feel like a more toxic space. And, I mean - quite a lot of incidents of people getting very, very angry about all kinds of things and attacking people Picture Quote #1

[One of my kids ]is not named after Aldous Huxley. I haven’t even read Brave New World! Picture Quote #1

The biggest teenage taboo is being strait-laced. It’s easy to tell a researcher you went to a house party that turned into an orgy. It’s less easy to say you like eating toast and watching QI Picture Quote #1

The iPad falls between two stools - not quite a laptop, not quite a smartphone. In other words, it’s the spork of the electronic consumer goods world Picture Quote #1

Whenever I tell people I’m a misanthrope they react as though that’s a bad thing, the idiots. I live in London, for God’s sake. Have you walked down Oxford Street recently? Misanthropy’s the only thing that gets you through it. It’s not a personality flaw, it’s a skill Picture Quote #1

Everyone had clearly spent far too long perfecting their appearance. I used to feel intimidated by people like this; now I see them as walking insecurity beacons, slaves to the perceived judgment of others, trapped within a self- perpetuating circle of crushing status anxiety Picture Quote #1

[Worshipping God] is like fellating someone who intermittently stubs fags out on your head for no good reason. And we all know how unsatisfying that can be Picture Quote #1

Whenever anything nice happens in the world I always expect something appalling to happen immediately afterwards Picture Quote #1

Being slagged off is good for you. It thickens the skin and strengthens the backbone Picture Quote #1
