"You hope that your teenage self would like and forgive your 50-year-old self." ― Hugh Laurie Topic(s): Hope More From Hugh Laurie "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." "As a real person, he wouldn’t last a minute, would he? But drama is about imperfection. And we’ve moved away from the aspirational hero. We got tired of it, it was dull. If I was House’s friend, I would hate it. How he so resolutely refuses to be happy or take the kind-hearted road. But we don’t always like morally good people, do we?" "Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive.

You’re free of the gravity of what people think."

Pick road at random, and when it’s time to pull over, you pull over and hope you can find a place to crash."― Jello Biafra
