More quotes by Hugh Laurie
Now, my mom always said two wrongs don't make a right. But she never said anything about four wrongs, and that always left me confused.
Hugh Laurie
I think maybe even one of the reasons I became an actor was actually to hide. I mean, it sounds paradoxical because, of course, people are standing up in a public place and encouraging other people to look at them. So that's not the conventional definition of hiding.
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
There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now.
Hugh Laurie
Happiness is the twinkle in your grandmother's eye as you reverse the tractor off her legs.
Hugh Laurie
I would just hear piano players and I would hear music, and just think - I don't just want to sit here and passively listen I want to get inside it.
Hugh Laurie
I was too shy, I think, to sing publicly. It takes a particular kind of person. And when I was young, I was not that person. In the first instance, when a record company said to me, do you want to try and make your record, my first reaction was, no, I'm not worthy - I couldn't possibly, and so on and so forth.
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
You hope that your teenage self would like and forgive your 50-year-old self.
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
People are falling all over themselves to send you free shoes and free cufflinks and colonic irrigations for two. Nobody ever offers you a free acceptance speech. There just seems to be a gap in the market. I would love to be able to pull out a speech by Dolce & Gabbana.
Hugh Laurie
I suppose actors crave attention of some kind or they have suffered some form of arrested development and are still living in a sort of child's fantasy existence at some level in their psyche.
Hugh Laurie
Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive. When I ride through Beverly Hills in the early morning, and all the sprinklers have turned off, the scents that wash over me are just heavenly. Being House is like flying, too. You're free of the gravity of what people think.
Hugh Laurie
Keep on being yourself.
Hugh Laurie
Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.
Hugh Laurie
Riding my motorcycle around L.A. is like my own video game. But unlike many folks at the wheel, I am occupied with getting where I'm going and keeping myself safe. Most people are applying makeup, texting, and checking out the beauty in the next car.
Hugh Laurie
It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.
Hugh Laurie
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.
Hugh Laurie
Just because it's a bad job doesn't mean I need to do it badly.
Hugh Laurie
I grew up with an impatience with the anti-scientific. So I'm a bit miffed with our current love affair with all things Eastern. If I sneeze on the set, 40 people hand me echinacea. But I'd no sooner take that than eat a pencil. Maybe that's why I took up boxing. It's my response to men in white pajamas feeling each other's chi.
Hugh Laurie
