Stephen Fry

 

Ruth: Would you consider to be our next Prime Minister? 
Stephen Fry: I´m very touch by your idea that I’m capable of being Prime Minister! I’m many things, but above all I’m a moral coward and a social coward, and I don’t think I could take the hatred and the dislike of those who disagree with what I said. It’s bad enough on Twitter. You post something and although 99% of people, at least, are nice even if they desagree with you, that 1% unpleasant, unkind and threatening … . I always think it’s a bit like a swimming pool. If 99% of the swimmingpool water is beautiful, it’s nice, but if there is a little piece a poo floating in it, I’m not gonna swim in the pool. I’m not that sort of people that don’t care what people think … 

“One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision.” Bertrand Russell
