Stephen Fry: I'm certainly not adroit, efficient, neat, quiet on my feet and respectful like Jeeves. On the other hand, I do tend to remember quotations and regurgitate facts like him. I attempt the sunniness of disposition of Bertie Wooster, but can't achieve thesame altruism and sweetness of nature. A mongrel hybrid of both, I suppose. A sort of Jooster. Why take two Wodehouse characters into the shower, when you can simply Jooster And Go?


oh wow, this maketh me all smiley and fluttery...

I'd heard the last sentence quoted (OMG, pleasant mental images!), but not the ones before it. Absolutely adorable. I remember reading an interview with Hugh somewhere, wherein he said that P.G. Wodehouse had saved him as a teenager from being just another spotty, skinny little smart aleck, by giving him Bertie's example and teaching him that it was enough, in life, to be kind and generous of spirit. I love the idea of both Stephen and Hugh trying to live up to Wodehouse...

Though Stephen really strikes me as more of a Psmith, somehow. Hm.
