03/14: Laurie Talks to Radio Times
Paramount Comedy, the Star-Ledger, People, BBC News, 4, stuff.co.nz and Monsters and Critics report on Hugh Laurie's interview with Radio Times magazine. In it, he offers a number of interesting quotes.
On not receiving work offers from the UK:
"The door slammed behind me, and that's it. There's a notion that I've sold out. Sold out what exactly? There's a peculiar British attitude that I took an oath I wouldn't be successful, and reneged on it."
On watching himself on House:
"I avert my eyes when my children have it on. I hate seeing myself, but it's even worse hearing my American accent ... I had no idea I sound so retarded, a dull monotone, full of clunking mistakes."
He admited to trying Vicodin in order to better understand his character.
"I wouldn't recommend it - we have to be careful. But then again, if you're not in pain it gives a floaty, pleasurable feeling."
