I like technology, but 'Black Mirror' is more what the consequences are, and it doesn't tend to be about technology itself: it tends to be how we use or misuse it. We've not really thought through the consequences of it.
Charlie Brooker
Nothing happens in cricket, ever. Even the highlights resemble a freeze frame.
Is hacking ever acceptable? It depends on the motive.
In the early '80s, the arcade game Pac-Man was twice as popular as oxygen.
I'm extremely neurotic; it's the way my brain is built.
Youth fare aside, I have generally always been interested in what's going on culturally.
A cupcake is just a muffin with clown puke topping.
I think the problem we have as apes is we're asking far bigger questions than we could possibly process.
Technology is a tool that has allowed us to swipe around like an angry toddler.
If you're living in a dystopia, you don't necessarily want to look at another one.
I liked 'Making A Murderer,' 'Master of None.' 'Stranger Things' I watched along with everyone else in the world. 'Narcos,' I really liked 'Narcos' a lot.
Apple excels at taking existing concepts - computers, MP3 players, conceit - and carefully streamlining them into glistening ergonomic chunks of concentrated aspiration.
When a monk takes a vow of silence, is he still allowed to post messages on the Internet? Chances are God won't find out. Being ancient, God probably can't work computers. He holds the mouse gingerly, like it's made of fine china.
I'm scared about everything. I'm an anxious worrier. I worry about the downside of everything.
We're inseparable, games and I. If you cut me, I'd bleed pixels. Or blood. Probably blood, come to think of it.
When it comes to something like Brexit, I am part of the liberal-media London bubble, and so, to me, voting to leave was madness. My perspective was that it was cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Brexit is a harbinger for Trump, really.
Tinder is the ultimate gamification of romance. It's 'Pokemon Go' for the heart.
Banking, as far as I can tell, seems to be almost as precise a science as using a slot machine. You either blindly hope for the best, delude yourself into thinking you've worked out a system, or open it up when no one's looking and rig the settings so it'll pay out illegally.
Calling Batman 'the Dark Knight' is like calling Papa Smurf 'the Blue Patriarch':you're not fooling anyone.
In the age of social media, everyone's a newspaper columnist, exaggerating what they think and feel.
I'm not anti-technology at all, really.
Rather than setting yourself a New Year's resolution, why not simply pick a reason for hating yourself for the next 365 days? Takes less time, and it's easier to stick to.
People bemoan the loss of watercooler chat, but I think that there's more of that than ever. It's just that it's online.
When you're being earnest, people think you're being sarcastic, and when you're being sarcastic, they think you're being earnest. The moral in all this, of course, is that people should never attempt to communicate.
I wanna do some more goofy comedy stuff; I really enjoyed doing 'A Touch of Cloth.'
I've got no attention span.
At 16, I was drawing cartoons, and I wanted to carry on being a cartoonist.
There are different groups of people in your life that you behave slightly differently with. You behave one way with your family. You behave in a different way with your work colleagues. You behave differently with your friends from the movie club, your fitness instructor - all subtly different personas.
I loved 'Get Out.'
With 'Hang the DJ,' I was concerned that it was more comedic and much lighter than we normally do for 'Black Mirror.'
I have often felt the worlds of social media and the Internet are like a weird dreamscape. Even physically, when you are looking at your phone, you are out of it.
Humans will always babble. If someone wants to tweet that they can't decide whether to wear blue socks or brown socks, then fair enough. But when sharing becomes automated, I get the heebie-jeebies.
The fashion industry is an immense cultural and social blight that only gets a free pass because its would-be detractors are scared it'll start criticising their haircut.
With Boris Johnson, you don't think of him as a politician, oddly. You think of him as a media personality because he's a comic character. He's basically Homer Simpson. That makes him strangely bullet-proof.
Games get a bad press compared with, say, opera - even though they're obviously better, because no opera has ever compelled an audience member to collect a giant mushroom and jump across some clouds.
We humans are great at creating tools with unforeseen consequences. For instance, when we invented the wheel, we had no way of knowing we were also laying the foundations for the TV show 'Top Gear.'
My career path is like crazy paving - it goes all over the place.
All Pixar movies are heartbreaking, aren't they?
It's hard to think of a single human function that technology hasn't somehow altered, apart perhaps from burping. That's pretty much all we have left.
If your home is anything like mine, it contains several rarely explored crannies stashed full of archaic chargers, defunct cables, and freshly antiquated gizmos whose sole useful function in 2011 is to make 2005 feel like 1926, simply by looking big and dull and impossibly lumpen.
Everyone's opened a drawer and been startled by the unexpected discovery of an old mobile phone that now resembles an outsized pantomime prop. To think you used to be impressed by this clunky breezeblock. You were like a caveman gawping at a yo-yo.
Hopefully, some supervillain threat will come down, and we will have to unite as a species and fire our nukes into the sun or something.
I'm no financial expert. I scarcely know what a coin is. Ask me to explain what a credit default swap is, and I'll emit an unbroken 10-minute 'um' through the clueless face of a broken puppet. You might as well ask a pantomime horse.
You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat waiters and shop assistants, especially when you are one.
I didn't pass my degree due to never handing in an acceptable dissertation, and while it didn't harm me in the long run, my failure to complete the course properly probably led me to spend the next six years or so coasting, unsure of what to do next.
I do worry about civil unrest, or complete collapse of society, or having to flee, or Europe falling into a war.
If someone doesn't respond to a phone call, I think they've died.
The logical quandaries thrown up by well-meaning systems are clearly something that I find darkly amusing.
Ever since about 1998, when humankind began fast-forwarding through the gradually-unfolding history of progress, like someone impatiently zipping through a YouTube clip in search of the best bits, we've grown accustomed to machines veering from essential to obsolete in the blink of a trimester.
