Phill: Because I can’t outthink or sort of outperform Fry, all I can do is flirt with him. Which does make him go really… He just turns into a Jane Austen character.
Stephen: How many muscles are there in your fingers?

[set of 4 gifs of stephen fry on QI talking: “Geneticists have established that every woman in the world shares a single female ancestor, who lived 150,000 years ago. Scientists do actually call her Eve. And every man shares a single male ancestor, dubbed Adam. It has also been established, however, that Adam was born 80,000 years after Eve. So the world before him was one of heavy to industrial strength lesbianism, one assumes.”]
“People go up to him (Hugh Laurie) a lot and ask if he resents my success and is envious of the things I do…Being a Quizmaster and you know, a professional gaysexual, a mental health spokesman, Wagnerite, Twitter embarrassment, a 360 degree whore…while he can’t even afford to shave.”
