Interviewer: Do you like the feeling of being in love?
Stephen Fry: I think the Latin poet Catullus put it best. I hate and I love. It's pain. In the literal sense it is pain. Exquisite pain, often. That thing that you would rather not have taken away from and yet does consume you. Poets have written volumes on the subject.
Interviewer: What about drawing on your own observations rather than those of poets?
Stephen Fry: But I do draw on poets for my own observations. That's my religion: art and poetry. Yes I can draw on my own experience but it's vindicated and corroborated by artists.
