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.

More quotes by Stephen Fry
You don't need a Harvard MBA to know that the bedroom and the boardroom are just two sides of the same ballgame.
Stephen Fry
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.
Stephen Fry
I shall sustain a massive erection, that’s what, and I shan’t be answerable for the consequences. Some kind of ejaculation is almost bound to ensue and if either of you were to become pregnant I should never forgive myself.
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
Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.
Stephen Fry
I've always been aware of my sexuality, but I never quite knew what it meant.
Stephen Fry
To be human and to be adult means constantly to be in the grip of opposing emotions, to have daily to reconcile apparently conflicting tensions. I want this, but need that. I cherish this, but I adore its opposite too.
Stephen Fry
An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.
Stephen Fry
We don't stop talking about how the world might be better just because we have no chance of making it to Prime Minister. We are all politicians. We are all artists. In an open society everything the mind and hands can achieve is our birthright. It is up to us to claim it.
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
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
Glory never arrives through the front door. She sneaks in uninvited round the back or through an upstairs window while you are sleeping.
Stephen Fry
I have to mime at parties when everyone sings Happy Birthday... Mime or mumble and rumble and growl and grunt so deep that only moles, manta rays and mushrooms can hear me.
Stephen Fry
The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies.
Stephen Fry
The Gay News critic wrote that I 'carried the lilt of the Irish without the brogue'.
Stephen Fry
Oscar Wilde quite rightly said, 'All art is useless'. And that may sound as if that means it's something not worth supporting. But if you actually think about it, the things that matter in life are useless. Love is useless. Wine is useless. Art is the love and wine of life. It is the extra, without which life is not worth living.
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
I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable.
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
Generally, we admire the thing we are not.
Stephen Fry
