More quotes by Stephen Fry
I do think it's important not to be absolutely sure, so sure that you can't reinvent yourself in some way, or at least rediscover the truth of why you think what you think, and not just take it as an assumption.
Stephen Fry
You'll often hear the phrase science doesn't know everything. Well, of course it doesn't know everything. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean that it knows nothing.
Stephen Fry
Literary studies were no more than a series of autopsies performed by heartless technicians. Worse than autopsies: biopsies. Vivisection. Even movies, which I love more than anything, more than life itself, they even do it with movies these days.
Stephen Fry
Somehow, as a writer, you tend to use words to paper over structural cracks.
Stephen Fry
It only takes a room of Americans for the English and Australians to realise how much we have in common.
Stephen Fry
There's no doubt that I do have extremes of mood that are greater than just about anybody else I know.
Stephen Fry
You think homosexuality is disgusting? Then, it follows as the night the day, that you find sex disgusting, for there is nothing done between two men or two women that is, by any objective standard, different from that which is done between a man and a woman.
Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
You've just had the most imponderable joy of watching charlieissocoollike, which makes you, like, cool.
Stephen Fry
One of the reasons I love the online world is that although that exists in abundance you can choose absolutely which part of the online world you want to live in. You can make your own kingdom in that sense.
Stephen Fry
I've never had any illusions about being a lead actor in films, because lead actors have to be of a certain kind. Apart from the beauty of looks and figure, which I cannot claim to have, there's just a particular kind of ordinary-Joe quality that a film star needs to have.
Stephen Fry
Having been an actor and a writer for so long - 20 years or so - I felt that it would be daft to go to one's grave without having directed. It's a natural extension of writing and acting, and so I knew it would happen one day.
Stephen Fry
We always make the mistake, the fatal mistake in the case of military people, of imagining that each war will be a kind of version of the one that happened previously.
Stephen Fry
There is no right language or wrong language any more than there are right or wrong clothes.
Stephen Fry
No adolescent ever wants to be understood, which is why they complain about being misunderstood all the time.
Stephen Fry
Why should I be depressed? I've got enough money. I've got a job. People like me. There is no to be depressed. That's at stupid as saying there is no reason to have asthma or there is no reason to have the measles. You know you've got it. It's there. It's not about reason.
Stephen Fry
An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.
Stephen Fry
Generally, we admire the thing we are not.
Stephen Fry
A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some foul rehab clinic and my lance was free.
