Some people are drawn naturally – there are natural guitarists, and there are natural piano players, and I think guitar implies travel, a sort of footloose gypsy existence. You grab your bag and you go to the next town. – Hugh Laurie
My dad gave me my first bike at 16. I soon fell off and was in a wheelchair for weeks. I havent fallen since. – Hugh Laurie
I feel like a hostage to fortune. Not that I am complaining. I wanted to play the role. But in truth I didnt 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. – Hugh Laurie
