I'm absolute attacking my own instinct for politeness, but I think I admire artists who just speak out or who are strong, so it's very hard.
Stephen Fry
Things are always worse in the steady watches of the night.
Stephen Fry
No adolescent ever wants to be understood, which is why they complain about being misunderstood all the time.
Stephen Fry
Nudity is a deep worry if you have a body like a bin bag full of yoghurt, which I have.
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
Between funny and witty Falls the shadow
Stephen Fry
There's no doubt that I do have extremes of mood that are greater than just about anybody else I know.

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
Love in all eight tones and all five semitones of the word's full octave.
Stephen Fry
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
Stephen Fry
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.
Stephen Fry
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
Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.
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
The only people who are obsessed with food are anorexics and the morbidly obese. That, in erotic terms, is the Catholic church, in a nutshell.
