“INTERVIEWER: Do you [Moffat and Gatiss] have conversations with each other where you say, ‘Right, people are going to ask us these [plot] questions over and over – how are we going to respond to them?’

   

   

MOFFAT: I’ve been doing this over two shows now – just have an answer.

   

   

And just because ‘No Comment’ is itself an answer… sometimes you just have to say, ‘To hell with it, it’s fiction – I’ll make up some more right now!’

   

   

And I just tell a straightforward porkie.

   

   

And in fairness to me – I’ve always said that’s exactly what I’m doing.

   

   

Sometimes I sit there – I did this in San Diego and said, ‘I am lying to you. I’m lying to you right now. [laughs] Why are you trusting me when I’m lying?’

   

   

And they STILL quote me! I’m lying!”
