“I don't think the challenge is asking an audience to like a character;...” — Phoebe Waller-Bridge Quote

“I don't think the challenge is asking an audience to like a character; it's inviting them to try and understand them... then making that journey entertaining and worth their while. It's a classic trick, but it's human, and it allows characters to have more depth.”

“You have to make an audience feel like they can - and want to - change something about what they are watching. And that might be the thing that galvanises them in the end, that makes them come out of themselves and say, 'No! Don't do that!'”

“I'm often asking people on Twitter what they think about issues we're covering on the news. And I try and respond to as many tweets as time allows.”

“When the press began asking me for interviews, I freaked out. My instinct is to hide.”

“I have written things that Republicans and Democrats and all kinds of figures have either hated or felt very uncomfortable about. Because in doing these long projects and books, you get close to the bone. And they're not calling me up and asking me for dinner.”
