More quotes by Stephen Fry
Well, isn't it splendid & rather toffee?
Stephen Fry
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
You can't just say there is a god because the world is beautiful. You have to account for bone cancer in children
Stephen Fry
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
The email of the species is deadlier than the mail.
Stephen Fry
Having been an actor and a writer for so long - 20 years or so - I felt that it would be daft to go to one's grave without having directed. It's a natural extension of writing and acting, and so I knew it would happen one day.
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. 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
But an Adrian also knew that an Adrian's lies were real: they were lived and felt and acted out as thoroughly as another man's truths - if other men had truths - and he believed it possible that this last lie might see him through to the grave.
Stephen Fry
Nudity is a deep worry if you have a body like a bin bag full of yoghurt, which I have.
Stephen Fry
You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film.
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'm fat because I'm greedy, and if my mind is fat it's because I'm curious.
Stephen Fry
Thank you for your input I can tell you are struggling towards being interesting.
Stephen Fry
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
I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.
Stephen Fry
Philosophy is an odd thing... There is no particular Socratic or Dimechian or Kantian way to live your life. They don't offer ethical codes and standards by which to live your life.
Stephen Fry
...the reality of intelligent British speech... uses blasphemus, coital and cloacal expletives as a matter of course.
Stephen Fry
It is a little theory of mine that has much exercised my mind lately, that most of the problems of this silly and delightful world derive from our apologising for those things which we ought not to apologise for, and failing to apologise for those things for which apology is necessary.
Stephen Fry
I was born Mary Patterson, but then I married and naturally took my husband's name, so now I'm Neil Patterson.
Stephen Fry
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy.
Stephen Fry
