Asked about his long-term habit of co-writing with a variety of people, Cooray Smith commented: "I've written things with a lot of different people, partially because I'm a great believer in third brain theory, and partially as a series of attempts to disguise my own lack of talent!"[3]
In 2017, he responded to the casting of Jodie Whittaker in Doctor Who by writing an article saying those who disagreed with the lead character's sex change were misogynistic. His article was entitled "Uncomfortable with a female Doctor Who? It’s time to admit your real motives".[4]
