" I think casting is everything. You get a great cast and – certainly, as happens in ‘The Hour’ – so many of those performances on the page were transformed by those actors who took those parts and made it into something completely different. " - Abi Morgan

" I think there is a difference between connecting with a character and supporting and believing their policies. " - Abi Morgan

" I love the intimacy of TV. I love the fact that you don’t necessarily have the pressure of an audience or anyone around watching it – just you and it. " - Abi Morgan

" I try to stay focused on the work and recognize that I’ve been very lucky. Maybe it’s ’cause I grew up with actors, but I’ve seen that recognition comes and goes, so all there really is is your family and friends. You have to maintain those constants in your life. Maintain what’s beyond your work. " - Abi Morgan

" I think, in some ways, there’s a point as a television writer that ‘executive producer’ is the natural credit you get, and it can be a vanity title, or you can make of it what you want. " - Abi Morgan

" One of the things I think I can do in my lifetime is stop to remind myself that – and keep affirming that – women can sell movies. " - Abi Morgan
