More quotes by 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
Generally, we admire the thing we are not.
Stephen Fry
Having a great intellect is no path to being happy.
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
I certainly don't want to be formulaic. I want to be honest and authentic and everything else.
Stephen Fry
Hell, I am young. I am free. My teeth are clean. The sun shines. To hell with everything else

That's alright, said Hugo. I've got some wine Which was about all he seemed to have. He poured out two mugfuls. Very nice, said Adrian, sipping appreciatively. I wonder how they got the cat to sit on the bottle. It's cheap, that's the main thing.

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
There's nothing worse than the British in one of their fits of morality.
Stephen Fry
I'm afraid I was very much the traditionalist. I went down on one knee and dictated a proposal which my secretary faxed over straight away.
Stephen Fry
Everything had been based on a kind of certainty, a sense of man at the center of things, a sense of order and hierarchy. And suddenly, almost simultaneously, extraordinary discoveries are made.
Stephen Fry
I've always had great respect for Paddington because he is amusingly English and eccentric. He is a great British institution and my generation grew up with the books and then Michael Horden's animations.
Stephen Fry
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy.
Stephen Fry
Mankind can live free in a society hemmed in by laws, but we have yet to find a historical example of mankind living free in lawless anarchy.
Stephen Fry
I believe that poetry is a primal impulse within us all.
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
And of course you are mad, if by a madman we mean a mind that questions and rejects every civilized norm.
Stephen Fry
Those who rule the world get so little opportunity to run about and laugh and play in it.
Stephen Fry
The part of [Oscar] Wilde was exceptionally important to me the man, his achievements, his wisdom, but his downfall, his disgrace and the tragic and bitter end to it have always fascinated, appalled and attracted me since childhood. It was he who first in some measure vindicated my sexuality.
Stephen Fry
I'm fat because I'm greedy, and if my mind is fat it's because I'm curious.
