“I grew up with an impatience with the anti-scientific. So I'm a bit miffed with our current love affair with all things Eastern. If I sneeze on the set, 40 people hand me echinacea. But I'd no sooner take that than eat a pencil. Maybe that's why I took up boxing.

“It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.” ThinkingWellsMayFeelingsTimeWaitingReadyTerribleComedianHard TimesContemplatingProcrastinationTerrible ThingsInactionReadinessInactivity Author:Hugh Laurie
“Success on a cosmic level completely eludes me. I'm deeply suspicious of things being too good. It's part of my superstition, I think, to generate pain in order to give the illusion of gain. I'm not saying I reject success, but honestly, I don't quite know how to deal with it. It's an old feeling: As soon as you have the thing you've been going after all your life, that reasonable degree of security, you start kicking against it, doubting it.” ThinkingKnowsGivingFeelingsPainSuccessOrderLevelsDealsKnow HowDoubtSecurityDegreesIllusionGainsHonestlyReasonableRejectsCosmicSuperstitionsSuspiciousKickingEludeOld Feelings Author:Hugh Laurie
