  - Michael Hirst
  

• ‟ With 'Vikings,' I had the task of making these people interesting and, to a point, sympathetic.

  - Michael Hirst
  

• ‟ People offer me loads of stuff, and some of it I like, but I just can't do it because I can't write it all. So I might get in the position where I have some sort of company and just write maybe the first episode, but these are love projects, in a way.

  - Michael Hirst
  

• ‟ I couldn't give 'Vikings' away - I mean, I love these people. And I'm not sure anyone else writing it would necessarily have the same feeling towards the characters that I do.

  - Michael Hirst
  

• ‟ You have to create characters - certainly in series TV - who people engage with. They don't have to be nice; you don't have to agree with them. But they do have to be compulsively watchable and believable and human, and you want to know what happens to them.
