To be a head boy, you have to be very clever, you have to be a scholar, and I was never a scholar in any shape or form.

More quotes by Hugh Laurie
Having a vote once every four years is not the same thing as democracy.
Hugh Laurie
We put this 15-year old girl on the cover of a fashion magazine, and tell everyone she is the epitome of sexual perfection, but we jail anyone who touches her for another three years.
Hugh Laurie
I am very, very aware at all times. I'm watching myself, I'm listening to myself, I'm judging myself, critiquing myself all the time, and I will know when I do something and I will immediately say, Can I do another one, because I didn't quite get that thing, or that I wanted to do something there and it didn't quite work.
Hugh Laurie
I'm not a religious man... I find I am a fan of science. I believe in science. A humility before the facts. I find that a moving and beautiful thing. And belief in the unknown I find less interesting. I find the known and the knowable interesting enough.
Hugh Laurie
Humility was considered a great virtue in my family household. No show of complacency or self-satisfaction was ever tolerated. Patting yourself on the back was definitely not encouraged, and pleasure or pride would be punishable by death.
Hugh Laurie
Humility was a cult in my family. I only got it out of my father by accident when he was very old that he had won an Olympic gold medal.
Hugh Laurie
To be able to pretend to be something that I'm frankly not is very liberating and exciting.
Hugh Laurie
Piano was - well, all musical instruments were taught in this very rigid, formal, classical method when I was young.
Hugh Laurie
Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.
Hugh Laurie
There's an undeniable pleasure in stepping into an open-top sports car driven by a beautiful woman. It feels like you're climbing into a metaphor.
Hugh Laurie
Celebrity is absolutely preposterous. Entertainment seems to be inflating. It used to be the punctuation to your life, a film or a novel or a play, a way of celebrating a good week or month. Now it feels as if it's all punctuation.
Hugh Laurie
I have resolved to pick one novel and just read it over and over again for the rest of my life, because I cannot remember anything anymore.
Hugh Laurie
I travel to work on my motorcycle, so it's jeans, boots and a brown Aero leather jacket that weighs as much as I do. If it were black, it would seem like I've got a Brando idea going on, which I don't.
Hugh Laurie
People assume that I'm very highly trained, that I studied and did years and years of Shakespeare. I have no training whatsoever and I've only done one Shakespeare play at university. If people want to believe that, I'm happy to go along with it.
Hugh Laurie
It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what.
Hugh Laurie
She turned towards me and narrowed her eyes...narrowed them horizontally, not vertically.
Hugh Laurie
I know a lot of people think therapy is about sitting around staring at your own navel - but it's staring at your own navel with a goal. And the goal is to one day to see the world in a better way and treat your loved ones with more kindness and have more to give.
Hugh Laurie
It's a holy city for music.
Hugh Laurie
It gets on top of me and I get frustrated.
Hugh Laurie
People are more open about seeking help these days. They recognise the fact that the alternative to having a shrink is that you bore your friends stupid. So I figured that I might as well give someone 100 bucks an hour to hear my woes. At least someone can make a living out of listening to my tedious problems.
Hugh Laurie
