Stephen Fry
The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies.
Stephen Fry
Many people would no more think of entering journalism than the sewage business - which at least does us all some good.

Money no longer has any meaning. Civilization is coming to an end. If not the destruction of the world, it's an endless stalemate.
Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
The Gay News critic wrote that I 'carried the lilt of the Irish without the brogue'.

Stephen Fry
I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable.
Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
Families where there is not much laughter I think are signs of some sort of dysfunctionality or sickness.
Stephen Fry
There is no right language or wrong language any more than there are right or wrong clothes.
Stephen Fry
I think my view is that whenever you project into the future you're never likely to be accurate in the details, or the paraphernalia and style. It's in the spirit of it.
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.
Stephen Fry
To me, reason is as spiritual as anything else, the beauty of reason seems to me indelible and ineffable and numinous... the spirit is after all the same word we use to describe... essence
Stephen Fry
In a dung heap, even a plastic bead can gleam like a sapphire.
Stephen Fry
There's nothing worse than the British in one of their fits of morality.
Stephen Fry
I'm afraid I was very much the traditionalist. I went down on one knee and dictated a proposal which my secretary faxed over straight away.
Stephen Fry
The performance of buggery is no more inevitable a part of homosexuality than an orange syllabub is an inevitable part of a dinner: some may clamour for it and instantly demand a second helping, some are not interested, some decide they will try it once and then instantly vomit.
Stephen Fry
