Stephen Fry
Sex without smiling is as sickly and as base as vodka and tonic without ice.
Stephen Fry
A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some foul rehab clinic and my lance was free.
Stephen Fry
I don't believe there is a God. If I were to believe in a god, l would believe in gods.
