"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."

Thought

Quote_1.png
Hugh Laurie
"Seems to me that this business, for actors anyway, is not so much about whether or not you do good work. It's about whether or not you get the chance to do good work."

Work

Quote_1.png
Hugh Laurie
"I feel like I'm working on an oil rig right now. I'm away from home a lot."

Home

Quote_1.png
Hugh Laurie
"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."

Bed

Quote_1.png
Hugh Laurie
"One of the principal goals in my life has been to avoid embarrassing my children by doing the job I do. I hope I've managed to do that, and I hope that, with the job I'm in now, they are, if not proud, at least unembarrassed by it. I must say, my three are most agreeable children, who do nothing but delight me."

Life

Quote_1.png
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
"I feel like a hostage to fortune. Not that I am complaining. I wanted to play the role. But in truth I didn't think the show would be such a success. OK, I thought it would fail. Not because it was bad. I was confident it was good, but plenty of good things just sort of wither on the vine."

Success

Quote_1.png
Hugh Laurie
"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."

Happiness

Quote_1.png
Hugh Laurie
"I run six-to-eight miles a day, plus weights and aerobics in the lunch hour. I also lie a lot, which keeps me thin."
