Stephen Fry: “Lost, alone and I wanted to take my life”

I was lost and adrift and really what I first wanted to do was to take my life. Comedian, an actor, and a national treasure. He's a drinker, he's a writer. I mean you I'll probably miss things out. Master of language. And for night's my night. I was a deeply difficult child. My parents turned me to a psychiatrist when I was fourteen. I start doing weird things. I was sent to prison. So the best I could do after a disastrous childhood I decided was now concentrate on getting into Cambridge.

That changed everything. Ladies and gentlemen, Stephen Bry. I want to please people. If I don't please them I get upset. I I've done it wrong.

Age thirty seven, you star in a play. The play gets some pretty harsh reviews. I was lost and adrift and really what I first wanted to do was to take my life. Steven vanished on Monday, leaving a number of letters for friends.
