You
are seen by many as an ideal dinner party guest, but which
people (historical or contemporary) would you like to invite
to a dinner party and why?
David Rayner, Norfolk
Stephen
Fry: Oscar Wilde, obviously really, for wit and
charm. Queen Elizabeth I too - a very witty and extraordinary
woman.

Can
you remember reading any particular book as a child that
had a profound influence on your view of life, the universe,
etc?
Amanda Williams
Stephen
Fry: CS Lewis' Screwtape Letters. A mixture of
wit, insight and brilliance of the kind you rarely meet.
|
Your
lack of enthusiasm for participating in sport at school
is well-known. If you could invent a sport that even you
would have enjoyed taking part in, what would it be?
Helen Simmons, Norfolk
Stephen
Fry: If there were a mixture of cricket, poker
and snooker that would be it, I reckon. Hard to imagine
but I wish someone would invent it!
|
You
have a great command of language, but which are your least
favourite words and why?
Rebecca Hobbs, Derby
Stephen
Fry: 'Hopefully' and 'disinterested' are nearly
always used wrongly and, although it's silly to be pedantic,
it annoys me. But the worst is 'energy' when used in a meaningless,
new-age sort of way, as in 'positve energy' and all that
arse-wallop.

If
you were to appear in Star Wars would you like to be on
the dark side of the force, the goody-goody Luke Skywalker
side or would a whole new side have to be invented?
Ffion Rogers, North Wales
Stephen
Fry: Definitely the dark side. Better lines,
better costumes, better music and better opportunities to
show off. Just what an actor likes best really.
