Famous quotes by Hugh Laurie:

"They, all of them, work incredibly hard to make me seem clever and heroic, neither of which I am."

"He worked as a doctor for 30 years and as far as I know, never stood up in front of millions of people and got a gold shiny thing for it, which seems ridiculous someone who pretends to do that should be honored and recognized, but it's a crazy world, you know?"

"So he came back at 40 ... with a science degree, thinking, `Well, what am I going to do now?' and with two kids, he enrolled in medical school with a lot of 19-year-olds, ... an amazing thing."

"Perfection is intensely annoying. Audiences were ready for a character who didn't obey the usual pieties of modern life."

"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."

"Really? I suppose reading the confidential psychiatric file of his ex-girlfriend."

"He was a very gentle soul and, I think, a very good doctor. And I'm probably being paid more to become a fake version of my own father."

"How did I do that? It's a long story. You know, kids, boys, explosive things. It will happen."

"I am terribly conscious of the fact that the world doesn't need any more actors. There are so many brilliant actors around that one more twit like me joining the back of the queue seems completely unnecessary."

"To me, he's a hero, ... He's not polite. He's not someone you want to take home to meet your mother, necessarily. This is a guy in search of truth. Incidentally, that truth one day could save your life or the life of someone you love. That's a heroic thing."

"I never was someone who was at ease with happiness."

"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."

"I have my moments. Ever since I was a boy, I never was someone who was at ease with happiness. Too often I embrace introspection and self-doubt. I wish I could embrace the good things."

"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."

"You hope that your teenage self would like and forgive your 50-year-old self."

"I don't have a single complete show or movie or anything else that I could look at and say, 'Nailed that one.' But endless dissatisfaction is, I suppose, what gets us out of bed in the morning."

"Screenwriting is the most prized of all the cinematic arts. Actually, it isn't, but it should be."

"I just read an 800-page history of the Scottish Enlightenment and, honestly, I may as well just start it again now, because I cannot remember a single thing. I can barely remember where Scotland is."

"I personally believe that the iPod is a frankly corrosive device because it encourages you to surround yourself with your favorites. The whole idea of a playlist is to surround yourself with your favorite things, and the interesting thing is that when you do that, they cease to be your favorites."

"My dad gave me my first bike at 16. I soon fell off and was in a wheelchair for weeks. I haven't fallen since."
