You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film.
Stephen Fry

The stranger might laugh and seem to enjoy the writing, but you hug to yourself the thought that they didn't quite understand its force and quality the way you do - just as your friends (thank heavens) don't also fall in love with the person you are going on and on about to them.
Stephen Fry

A book is judged, not by its reference to life, but by its reference to other books.
Stephen Fry
Image
I do think it's important not to be absolutely sure, so sure that you can't reinvent yourself in some way, or at least rediscover the truth of why you think what you think, and not just take it as an assumption.

Music takes me to places of illimitable sensual and insensate joy, accessing points of ecstasy that no angelic lover could ever locate, or plunging me into gibbering weeping hells of pain that no torturer could ever devise.
Stephen Fry
Image
there is no reason why anyone should understand how it works… and of course no reason why anyone should care … unless you are curious, in which case I love you, for curiosity about the world and all its corners is a beautiful thing.
Stephen Fry
Image
I think faith in each other is much harder than faith in God...
Stephen Fry
Image
Somehow, as a writer, you tend to use words to paper over structural cracks.
Stephen Fry
Image
You can never hope to recapture the first fine careless rapture as the poet put it, but it stays with you like a good acid trip.
Stephen Fry
Image
It's a great privilege just to be in a film not because you're some packaging that some agent has done with the studio exec: We need a John Travolta film.
Stephen Fry
Image
I think Eros should be dirty. In Greek legend, as I'm sure you are aware, he fell in love with the minor deity Psyche. It was the Greek way of saying that, in spite of what it may believe, Love pursues the Soul, not the body the Erotic desires the Psychic. If Love was clean and wholesome he wouldn't lust after Psyche.

Cynical is the name we give those we fear may be laughing at us.
