Meeting Stephen Fry In Tribeca

Monday night I went to Barnes And Noble in Tribeca for the first time to meet Stephen Fry and get a copy of his new book The Fry Chronicles signed. The turn out was huge and Stephen ended speaking for 30 minutes instead of the planned 15 minutes. There were as many British as American fans at the event which was great to see. The overall experience was more than I expected. Stephen is truly charming and friendly. He is truly interested in his fans and clearly shows it in his interactions with everyone he meets. I am looking forward to reading the book. As I waited to meet Stephen I looked at all the photographs of Stephen, his family, Emma Thompson, and others which is a real treat.

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. It wouldn’t be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman – I’ll kiss a frog if you like. – Stephen Fry
