Personally, I'd never seen a graphic novel. I knew they existed because friends of mine like Jonathan Ross collect them and some very literate and intelligent people really rate the graphic novel as a form.

More quotes by Stephen Fry
I shouldn't be saying this, high treason really, but I sometimes wonder if Americans aren't fooled by our accent into detecting a brilliance that may not really be there.
Stephen Fry
I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book.
Stephen Fry
If you think you're going to have an eternity in which you can talk to Mozart and Chopin and Schopenhauer on a cloud and learn stuff and you know really get to grips with knowledge and understanding and so you won't bother now, I think it's a terrible, a terrible mistake.
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 may have looked happy but inside I was hopelessly depressed.
Stephen Fry
Seriousness is no more a guarantee of truth, insight, authenticity or probity, than humour is a guarantee of superficiality and stupidity.
Stephen Fry
My first meeting with you only confirmed what I first suspected. You are a fraud, a charlatan and a shyster. My favourite kind of person, in fact.
Stephen Fry
Atheism comes into rather a bad press and I suppose I'd rather describe myself as a humanist... I don't believe in God. I don't believe there is a God.
Stephen Fry
I went to Cambridge and thought I would stay there. I thought I would quietly grow tweed in a corner somewhere and become a Don or something.
Stephen Fry
Life is sometimes novel-shaped, mocking the efforts of those authors who, in an effort to make their novels life-shaped, spurn the easy symmetry and cheap resonance of reality.
Stephen Fry
I certainly don't want to be formulaic. I want to be honest and authentic and everything else.
Stephen Fry
Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.
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
If you have been, I'm glad you've stopped.
Stephen Fry
I have always been an impassioned advocate for the works of Shakespeare. I regard him as one of the most complete miracles of his or any other age.
Stephen Fry
It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.
Stephen Fry
Things are always worse in the steady watches of the night.
Stephen Fry
Philosophy is an odd thing... There is no particular Socratic or Dimechian or Kantian way to live your life. They don't offer ethical codes and standards by which to live your life.
Stephen Fry
I was happy there. Which is to say I was not unhappy there. Unhappiness and happiness I have always been able to carry about with me, irrespective of place and people, because I have never joined in.
Stephen Fry
All we have to do is listen. The Good Lord gave us two ears and only one mouth, my dear white-headed mother used to say.
Stephen Fry
