Hugh Laurie Interviewed by Hollywood.com
Hollywood.com did an interview with Hugh Laurie and in it he discusses several very interesting topics, including these:
HW: Women love House. Do you think they want to save him?
HL: I don’t know if that’s true really. Clearly this is a troubled character. There was an episode, one of my favorite episodes ever of Star Trek, favorite moment in Star Trek was when Captain Kirk looks over the cosmos and says, “”Somewhere out there someone is saying the three most beautiful words in any language.”" Of course your heart sinks and you think it’s going to be, “”I love you”" or whatever. He says, “”Please help me.”" What a philosophically fantastic idea, that vulnerability and need is a beautiful thing. Actually, House is a character in need of human contact and some kind of redemption. That “”Please help me”" aspect I think is an important element in the show.
HW: What was it like to be made a member of the Order of the British Empire by the Queen?
HL: I haven’t been honored by many Queens in my life [so] not many things to compare it with, but it was a huge thrill. Of course it was a huge thrill. I went to Buckingham Palace and I put on a royal set of tails. I spoke to her for about 14 seconds. I think that is all you are allowed, which I completely understand. She’s got to do 100 people in an hour. You got to keep it plucking on. It was a very big thrill.
