Доктор как тип героя

It's hard to talk about the importance of an imaginary hero. But heroes ARE important: Heroes tell us something about ourselves.
History tells us who we used to be, documentaries tell us who we are now; but heroes tell us who we WANT to be.
And a lot of our heroes depress me.
But when they made this particular hero, they didn't give him a gun--they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn't give him a tank or a warship or an x-wing fighter--they gave him a box from which you can call for help. And they didn't give him a superpower or pointy ears or a heat-ray--they gave him an extra HEART. They gave him two hearts! And that's an extraordinary thing.
There will never come a time when we don't need a hero like the Doctor.
(Моя любимая цитата, хоть и с выпадом против Star Wars. =) )

Доктор как прохожий

He's not the avenger his fans and enemies like to imagine - he's a bloke with a time machine, slamming around the universe, trying to make summer never end. He wants to meet people, see amazing things, and understand the universe. And sometimes, by accident, he ends up fighting the good fight. But that's not what he's trying to do - it's just that those two passionate hearts won't let him see people suffer and not intervene. He's the eternal passer-by who becomes the last man standing. The best story in the universe is always about someone who doesn't know they're the hero of it.

Доктор как противоШерлок

They're also sort of opposites. I always think of the doctor oddly enough, strangely enough, as more human. He's like an angel who aspires to be human, whereas Sherlock Holmes is a human being who aspires to be a god. He's rejecting the very things that the Doctor embraces. But they sort of meet in the middle, 'cause neither succeeds in their aspirations.

о работе Дугласа Адамса в Doctor Who

Douglas Adams brought to Doctor Who something completely useless. He brought the revelation of what Doctor Who would look like if it was written by a genius. Well, there just aren't too many geniuses, so I don't know that there's much to learn from the way he did it."
(Спросила Интернет, как Моффат относится к Адамсу - результатом довольна)

о детской литературе

The misconception about children's fiction is that it's lightweight or fluffy. It's about really big and important things. It's adults who like light and fluffy. Everything is big and important to a child, so their stories are about big and important events.
(Мне кажется, я в интервью слышала несколько иначе, хотя уже не уверена)
