Sometimes there just isn't enough vomit in the world.
Stephen Fry
The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies.
Stephen Fry
I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book.
Stephen Fry
We hold on STEVE's still smiling face as MICHAEL passes by. STEVE's eyes follow MICHAEL out of the room and then the smile disappears. It is replaced by a look of hunger and desolation.
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
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
Life, that can shower you with so much splendour, is unremittingly cruel to those who have given up.

Oscar Wilde quite rightly said, 'All art is useless'. And that may sound as if that means it's something not worth supporting. But if you actually think about it, the things that matter in life are useless. Love is useless. Wine is useless. Art is the love and wine of life. It is the extra, without which life is not worth living.
Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
I'm afraid I don't believe there is such a thing as blasphemy, just outrage from those insecure in their own faith.
Stephen Fry
It may be that there is an afterlife and I'll look incredibly stupid, but at least I will have had a crammed pre afterlife, a crammed life, so to me the most important thing is you know as Kipling put it. [...] To fill every unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run.
Stephen Fry
Old Professors never die, they just lose their faculties.
Stephen Fry
Living with bipolar, schizophrenia or any other mental condition takes a recognition that one has a chronic condition that needs managing. The management can be through pharmaceutical intervention, talk therapy, mindfulness programmes, diet and exercise changes, all kinds of things.
Stephen Fry
If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation depression just is, like the weather.
Stephen Fry
Knowing what I now know I would never have done anything so fatuous but then I never would have known what I know now had I not.
Stephen Fry
I now accept that it is looking increasingly likely that Tiger Woods is, in fact, straight.
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
