Image
My parents were marvelously educated people.
Stephen Fry
Image
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
Image
Old Professors never die, they just lose their faculties.
Stephen Fry
Image
I'd probably want to teach at university, because children would drive me insane. I suspect it would be English literature, Shakespeare and so forth. I've always been deeply, deeply in love with that kind of thing.
Stephen Fry
Image
Hell, I am young. I am free. My teeth are clean. The sun shines. To hell with everything else
Stephen Fry
Image
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
Image
Self-consciousness, that's what it is. Always my abiding vice. I keep seeing myself. Me watching myself watching others watch me. How do you lose that? What's the trick?
Stephen Fry
Image
Families where there is not much laughter I think are signs of some sort of dysfunctionality or sickness.
Stephen Fry
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Sometimes there just isn't enough vomit in the world.
Stephen Fry
Image
Incuriosity is the oddest and most foolish failing there is.
Stephen Fry
Image
I feel I would love to close down for a number of years in some way and just be in the country making pork pies and chutneys and never have to poke my head out of the parapet.
Stephen Fry
Image
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
Image
People still don't get how astounding Darwinism is. People think what shocked everybody was that Charles Darwin seemed to be saying we had descended from apes.
Stephen Fry
Image
That one can love another of the same gender, that is what the homophobe really cannot stand.
Stephen Fry
Image
It only takes a room of Americans for the English and Australians to realise how much we have in common.
Stephen Fry
Image
Money is to Everything as an Aeroplane is to Australia. The aeroplane isn't Australia, but it remains the only practical way we know of reaching it. So perhaps, metonymically, the aeroplane is Australia after all.
Stephen Fry
Image
I believe that poetry is a primal impulse within us all.
Stephen Fry
Image
How dare you? How dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault? It's not right, it's utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world that is so full of injustice and pain?
Stephen Fry
