Hugh Laurie
Hugh Laurie of House talking to TV Guide — it’s actually a rather good interview considering it’s published in TV Guide, which to the best of my knowledge, isn’t exactly known for insightful journalism (does anyone know otherwise?). Anyhow, Laurie, when asked if he hangs out with celebrities:
I have such a strong aversion to the ubiquitous digital camera that I can’t really bear to go anywhere. It’s pathetic. Not that I am ideal paparazzi fodder—I’m definitely not— but these days you don’t have to be to have your soul chopped up and laid out on the butcher’s slab. So instead I just sit at home and stare at the wall. Which luckily has a huge plasma TV on it.
When asked about exercise:
I run 6-8 miles a day, plus weights and aerobics in the lunch hour. I also lie a lot, which keeps me thin.
Ah… to have the gift of comedy.

For that last quote to be really effective you have to remember that he is a brit and insert the proper dialect. English people saying things like that always make me laugh a little (even if they do not mean it as a joke).

Isn’t Laurie an Aussie? I can’t remember for sure, but I thought he was. If he is, his accent would be way funnier. Australians have the funniest accent, it’s like the bastard child of American and British English accents.
