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.

I'm a bit of a coward, and lazy, oddly enough.

I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book.

Having been an actor and a wr...

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.

When you've seen a nude infant doing a backward somersault you know why clothing exists.

It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway, Van Gogh... Robert Schumann has been mentioned... Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath... some of them with rather grim ends.

Old Professors never die, they just lose their faculties.

But if one could go back in time, I'd love to have been directed by Howard Hawks, who's one of my great heroes. One of the greatest directors there ever was. He directed probably one of the greatest westerns of all time in 'Rio Bravo'.

But happiness is no respecter of persons.

It is exhausting knowing that most of the time the phone rings, most of the time there's an email, most of the time there's a letter, someone wants something of you.

Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

No, I love the idea that someone changes. As an actor it's always the thing that you look for. He is someone who starts off bright, cheerful and confident and then has everything taken away from him. It's a wonderful journey to take.

You can't reason yourself back into cheerfulness any more than you can reason yourself into an extra six inches in height.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

I think the fact that I'm so ...

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 361 quotes

I have pushed the boat out as far as I should in terms of taking on too many things. I'm getting older and I just could not take it any more. I am now monitoring myself very closely and I'm just trying not to get into that sort of state again.

You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film.

Philosophy is an odd thing. When we use the word in everyday speech, you know, you sometimes hear it hilariously.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

You don't sit down and write a wish list about the person you are going to fall violently in love with. It just doesn't work like that.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

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.

The point about manic depress...

The point about manic depression or bipolar disorder, as it's now more commonly called, is that it's about mood swings. So, you have an elevated mood. When people think of manic depression, they only hear the word depression. They think one's a depressive. The point is, one's a manic-depressive.
