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.'

I certainly don't want to be f...

I certainly don't want to be formulaic. I want to be honest and authentic and everything else.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

I never quite dare to believe ...

I never quite dare to believe I'm brave enough to be an artist, but I'm on the side of artists. I think of myself as a bit of a Salieri, looking with longing eyes at Mozart.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

After the shooting of John Lennon and the early death of so many great stars and the utter naked venal mercantile marketing of pop music and rock music, I don't think anyone really believes that music is anything more than another commodity.

I suppose the thing that really interests me is what mankind did with the big, big, big discoveries that have created our modern age.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

Everything had been based on a...

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 361 quotes

People still don't get how astounding Darwinism is. People think what shocked everybody was that Charles Darwin seemed to be saying we had descended from apes.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

I do believe that almost every...

I do believe that almost everything I do is based on my feelings, not on my intellect. Though But we won't chase ourselves up the particular sentiment, or we'll get lost.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

I do think it's important not ...

I do think it's important not to be absolutely sure, so sure that you can't reinvent yourself in some way, or at least rediscover the truth of why you think what you think, and not just take it as an assumption.

I think I'm most nervous about revealing how nervous I have always been. People think me calm, confident, poised. Inside I'm a jelly...

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

Money and fame are trashy and ...

Money and fame are trashy and don't guarantee happiness, but we all refuse really to know it.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

My secret is that I have never...

My secret is that I have never thought there is a secret to anything in life. Passion. Love. Drive. Work. Work. Work. Dull but true.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

What's magical about [bears] is that they just spend one-hundred percent of every minute of every hour of every day being a bear. And a tree-frog spends all of its time being a tree-frog. We spend all our time trying to be somebody else.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

Nothing in this world is at it...

Nothing in this world is at it seems. Except, possibly, porridge.

Places of incredible glamour, possibility, power, excitement and pleasure. Love your libraries!

A book is judged, not by its reference to life, but by its reference to other books.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

I flicked my eyes over to Steve again and saw him straighten. He would need a diversion just to start. 'Explanations?Ђќ I bellowed. 'Explanations? There's your explanation there!Ђќ I stabbed a finger dramatically towards the far corner of the room. Pathetic, really. I mean, talk about the oldest trick in the book. But it's a good book, and the trick would have been cut from subsequent editions if it didn't sometimes work.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

I said it before and I'll say ...

I said it before and I'll say it again: books are dead, plays are dead, poems are dead: there's only movies. Music is still okay, because music is sound track. Ten, fifteen years ago, every arts student wanted to be a novelist or a playwright. I'd be amazed if you could find a single one now with such a dead-end ambition. They all want to make movies. Not write movies. You don't write movies. You make movies.

Stephen Fry 361 quotes

Estate agents: like them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.

If you have been, I'm glad you've stopped.
