❝ Oddly I was at the Baker Street Babes thing last night, and they said ‘you like trolling the audience’. And I said ‘I don’t’. I don’t like saying anything. But what you have to do is put out huge amounts of disinformation to try to bury all the secrets that are actually leaking out of there. Because you have a loyalty to the audience who would enjoy a surprise. You have to somehow find a way for them to have that delicious moment when something unexpected happens. And it’s not even just surprises you spoil. It’s not just the moment of the surprise. It’s not knowing what a story is going to do to you when the story begins. […] If you’re waiting for an hour for the big reveal, because you know it’s coming, it changes the nature of the show. It gets in the way of storytelling. ❞
