“What I like about 'Taboo' just in general, even in writing it, you are...” — Steven Knight Quote

“What I like about 'Taboo' just in general, even in writing it, you are not certain what the motives are sometimes because these characters are so odd that you let them speak for themselves and you're never quite sure where it's headed.”

“I think certain periods of history don't get dealt with because I think historians, and it's their job, but they look back and look for patterns. They look for sequences and they look for reasons, and certain periods of history don't fit with the general pattern of 1500 to the 20th century, during which there's the creation of the United States.”

“I just care about the heart and soul of our country and the direction it's headed in.”

“I'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!”

“I began to think about those that were in my situation that were not able to walk out of an abusive marriage, or maybe those that did not know where to go, that were in a single headed marriage, or widows. I was thinking what it was I could do to reach out to them.”
