"Nathan: I'm still gonna go out, to the Village. Nathan's dad: Not on school nights you're not. Nathan: And I'm not gonna change. You know that, don't you? Cos it isn't a phase. I'm not gonna grow out of it. I'm gonna be gay forever. Nathan's dad: You've made your mind up. It's obvious there's no stopping you. It's Helen I'm worried about. She's ten years old. She's a child. I don't want her head filled with notions. Nathan: Like what? Nathan's dad: As far as Helen's concerned, the anus is for shit. Got that?"

I'm a poof, I'm a poofter, I'm a ponce. I'm a bumboy, batty-boy, backside artist, bugger. I'm bent. I am that arsebandit. I lift those shirts. I'm a faggot-ass, fudge-packing, shit-stabbing uphill gardener. I dine at the downstairs restaurant, I dance at the other end of the ballroom. I'm Moses and the parting of the red cheeks. I fuck and I am fucked. I suck and I am sucked. I rim them and wank them, and every single man's had the fucking time of his life. And I am not a pervert. If there's one twisted bastard in this family, it's this little blackmailer here. So congratulations, Thomas. I've just officially outed you."

"Stuart: What, come back to this? The ghetto: alleyways stinking of piss, beggars in every doorway, straights and students coming to look at the freak show, and all the idiots saving all week, saving their stupid money from their stupid idiot jobs so they can come and shoot their load with some stranger. And just you look after it, this stupid little street. It's the middle of the world. Cos on a street like this, every single night, anyone can meet anyone. And every single night, someone meets someone."
"Vince: It's all yours now, all of them, all the poofs and all the dykes and all the people inbetween. And this lot, they'll shag ya, they'll rob ya, some of them might even love ya. They'll all forget you in the end. Just stick with your friends, you'll be fine."

"More important than any message for me was the question of how you handle being a superhero when society is already looking down on you. That's the experience of a young offender. It's also about having the responsibility of greater powers; my characters don't always use it for the greater good. That's where the fun starts."
"I guess that's why I never felt it was an impossible challenge to get into the mind of a teenager. I'm 36 now but I'm pretty certain falling in love at 16 is the same as it was 20 years ago"
"I never wanted it to be a group of teenagers who were pally from the very start. I hate that convention in teen drama where they meet and instantly become high-fiving friends for no apparent reason. I felt I had to really work for that as a writer and earn the right for them to have a relationship. It's a gradual process; it has to feel organic. When one of the characters gets in trouble in episode two, they don't immediately say, "Yes, let us help you, now we are the Fantastic Four we must work together to fight crime!" It can't work like that."
