Hugh Laurie: I'm rather enjoying the whole process of reinvention...
To be able to pretend to be something that I'm frankly not is
very liberating and exciting.

boots and a brown Aero leather jacket that weighs as much as
I do. 
Hugh Laurie on his late father`s reaction to his character Dr.
Gregory House] He would be absolutely appalled. He was an endlessly
polite, generous and soft-spoken man. He was no pushover, but
he would never hurt, shock or outrage people just for the hell
of it.
Hugh Laurie: The idea of a damaged genius is an interesting,
intriguing character, but it has nothing to do with me .
Hugh Laurie: I never was someone who was at ease with happiness.
As Dr. Gregory House, Hugh Laurie displays the comic timing that
made him a star in the U.K. Some classic Houseisms:
"I don't ask why patients lie, I just assume they all
do."
"I've found that when you want to know the truth about someone
that someone is probably the last person you should ask."
"Tests take time. Treatment's quicker."
"Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is almost always
somebody screwed up."
"That's a catchy diagnosis, you could dance to that."
"Idiopathic, from the Latin meaning we're idiots cause we
can't figure out what's causing it."
"If he gets better, I'm right, if he dies, you're right."
