“I'm reasonably easygoing. Messing up my lines or making a fool of myse...” — Hugh Laurie Quote

“I'm reasonably easygoing. Messing up my lines or making a fool of myself is where you find my fears. Like a lot of English people, I'm prey to embarrassment - the dread that everyone's sort of sniggering at you, that you're going to look like an idiot. I think that sort of halts us all.”

“Muddy Waters, I suppose, was my first great hero. You know, every boy wants to be a guitar player, and Muddy Waters was just the king. He was the King Bee. He was it.”

“When I was a small boy, 10, 11, 12, probably somewhere around there, when I first heard a blues song on the radio, it was a jolt of electricity. It grabbed me by the throat, it made me shiver. And I knew from that moment that this was for me and this would be with me for the rest of my life.”

“I wake up with a sense of wonder. I don't dread the future. I like it.”

“I have recurring dreams about losing my temper, which become quite violent. I dread to think what that says about me.”

“Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.”
