    • Stephen Fry held a speech on the twitter phenomenon and compared the early critique and doubt regarding twitter to the early days of e-mail. Both would have been initially for nerds only. The aim of twitter would be foremost social and emotional; he calls it human-shaped, not business-shaped.
      He also hypothesized that twitter must be very upsetting for journalists because the relationship between celebrities and audience is not dependent on them anymore. He gave examples when his credit or blame (critique of an article, a political decision) was overemphasized. He did not start those topics, he merely participated in the debate. He acknowledges his influence because of his followers but the community would decide what to pick up. You had to experience twitter to understand it.
    • Stephen Fry was among the celebrities who responded to children at Oakwood Primary School in Leeds, asking for items they would otherwise have thrown away - his was a plastic dinosaur and a Hong Kong two dollar coin. He also contributed a Doodle to the National Doodle Campaign, which auctions off celebrity doodles for charity.
    • In 2001, Stephen Fry was a guest on Room 101, a BBC comedy show. The basic premise is to name things that are hated, loathed, or despised and put them into Room 101. Stephen went so far as to put Room 101 itself into Room 101 since it only focuses on negative things. He would like to add a Room Lovely.

    • Stephen Fry: It's not called social change or heavy debate, it's called twitter. I mean the clue is in the name.
    • Stephen Fry: (when asked about his character in Kingdom, who is single) 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. (He then went on to comment on people congratulating straight actors playing gay roles, and how the reverse is never true.) It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like. It's difficult to ride bareback backwards while unicycling, but to kiss someone isn't difficult. It's just part of the insanely irrational way that the human mind works.
    • Stephen Fry: (on his partner Daniel Cohen's culinary skills) He is very good indeed, he does Simon Hopkinson's wonderful roast chicken, with his own variations. Lamb with anchovy, which is very good. And I call him the world's premier saladeer, he is an incredible maker of salads and dressings. He'll find a pomegranate, carrot, and a piece of bread and he'll somehow make a salad out of them that is just delicious.
