That's alright, said Hugo. I've got some wine Which was about all he seemed to have. He poured out two mugfuls. Very nice, said Adrian, sipping appreciatively. I wonder how they got the cat to sit on the bottle. It's cheap, that's the main thing.

Coming out as gay was an easy enough matter for me, since I worked in a profession where being gay had a long history of being accepted.
Stephen Fry
How to seperate the humiliation from the loss, that's the catch. You can never be sure if what tortures you is the pain of being without someone you love or the embarrassment of admitting that you have been rejected.
Stephen Fry
What makes a good family? Well, I suppose obviously love. Love lubricated often I think by humor. I think a family that can laugh at each other and tease themselves and who are able to be jolly with each other I think is the key.
Stephen Fry
There is not any way that you can just choose the nice bits and say that means there is a God and ignore the true fact of what nature is.

Old Professors never die, they just lose their faculties.
Stephen Fry
As if a device can function if it has no style. As if a device can be called stylish that does not function superbly... yes, beauty matters. Boy, does it matter. It is not surface, it is not an extra, it is the thing itself.
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
I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book.
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
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.

Naturally I've known girlies form an attachment to the younger male before now, but in the tennis score of the bedroom most girls in my experience would rather Love Thirty or Love Forty than Love Fifteen. Men, of course, are a whole other issue they start at Love All and stay there until they're dragged from the court

My general view is that best actor best suited to role should get the job. Obviously when it comes to colour and issues of ethnicity the choice is clear. But I do not believe you have to be transgender or have undergone sex reassignment surgery to be able play a character who has.Acting is acting after all.

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.

Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.

The email of the species is deadlier than the mail.
Stephen Fry
A film star is a kind of public monument, and everyone's staring at them, and they've kind of got railings around them, and they're rather miserable most of the time.
Stephen Fry
If I had a large amount of money I should certainly found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases and yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily about our ears.
Stephen Fry
Cynical is the name we give those we fear may be laughing at us.

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.
