“So instead of investing your time in a passion, you’ve sold your life to work for an uncaring machine that doesn’t understand you. That’s the problem with our society. And what’s the reward?

“I do have a huge problem, a huge problem. In fact, worse than watching is hearing. I cannot stand to hear my own voice. When it's coming out of my mouth right now it sounds fantastically interesting to me. It's rich in light and shade, it goes up and down. But when I hear it either on TV or even on someone's answering machine, I just sound like I've had half my brain removed.” FactsProblemLightSoundVoiceMy OwnInterestingBrainHalfRichTvsHugeRight NowMouthsMachinesHearingShadeComing OutUp And DownAnswering Machines Author:Hugh Laurie

“Seriously, if I switched on the TV and they were showing live footage of an army of fire-breathing pterodactyls machine-gunning people to death on the streets of London right outside my door, I'd be horrified, but not entirely surprised, nor any more scared than I already am. I'd probably just shrug and wait for them to smash the door down.

“I wanted to be on American TV so much. I didn't park DJ'ing; I just sort of ended up becoming more of a studio guy.

“We have a culture that is indirect in the extreme, where by the time you're five years old, you've watched tons of television, and have been subjected to what I call "the age of interruption," where everything is interrupted every minute. We have constant input from TV, computers, fax machines, telephones, etc. It's very hard for a modern American to have two hours of uninterrupted time. I know how it is because I insist on several hours of uninterrupted time each day, and I know how ruthless I have to be to get it.” KnowsYearsHas BeensTwoHardAgeCultureHoursKnow HowFiveModernMinutesTelevisionTvsComputerMachinesConstantExtremesFive YearsEach DayEtcTelephonesRuthlessInterruptedInputInterruptionsOld YouFive Year OldsIndirectFaxFax Machines Author:Michael Ventura
