Brief mention of Morrissey by Stephen Fry

[dandysweets]

Stephen Fry was interviewed 'live on Twitter' today by Johann Hari, and towards the end Fry mentions Morrissey after Hari asks him:

'You're also very brave in the book to describe how you were celibate for ten years. Do you regret it? What reawakened you?'

'I don't regret the celibacy no. I regret little in my life. I think the Cell Mates incident (walking out of a play) focussed me out of it.'

'Celibacy is just one of things that the Mozzer and I have in common....'

Hahaha, good ole' Stephen Fry....I wonder if Morrissey likes him?

 

[Clarksville]

How could anybody not like Stephen Fry?

 

[Soil Falling Over]

'Celibacy is just one of things that the Mozzer and I have in common....'

What other things might he mean? A love of Wilde, I suppose..... Don't know Fry too well.

Stephen Fry is a wonderful human being.
He is one of those people I could listen to talking for hours on end.He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of everything.
But most of all he has this wonderful style about him.Not sure if Americans will get him.He is so very old english in his ways.

"the Mozzer"?

 

[Maurice E]

I once read that Stephen Fry is a thick person's idea of what an intelligent person is!
Unfair?

Possibly. But very funny nonetheless!

Fry and Elms? I think my wireless cannie take the smugness overload!

LOL! very true.

Fair enough. But that doesn't preclude the possibility that he is also an intelligent person's idea of an intelligent person.

You're intelligent, aren't you?

 

[Mars_Rover]

I thought Fry was supposedly celibate for 14 years. It's probably all b.s. anyway, perhaps like Morrissey's celibacy.

 

[Black Cloud]

The more you ignore Stephen Fry, the farther away he gets.

I recommend it.

I'd love it if them two were gay! And then got together. That'd be great!

Maybe if two celibates have sex with each other they cancel each other out and are still celibate while they're smoking their cigarettes partaking in witty pillow talk.

(Fighting fire with retardant.)

 

[Clarksville]

Non-smokers' cigarettes, presumably.

I think you may have read that comment on here by me- although, I can't claim to have invented it ( although Mark Simpson has stolen one of my quotes about James Maker, such be life).

I like Fry but I was pointing out that, in my mind he is over rated as a thinker and not an Artist of worth. He is in no way a modern day Wilde as he is painted in today's media.

He does seem like a nice man though, he is one of the good ones

Amusing,
it depends which way you spin it. But when all is said and done your point only stands if you miss the point, somewhat.
