Reason 45: His modesty
“He’s absolutely brilliant but also painfully self-critical. He has athletic prowess, command of several musical instruments and ‘laser-like’ attention to logic and detail. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say that he’s pleased with anything he’s done, except things to him that really matter, like friendships, parenthood, love. He’s just a remarkable man to have as a friend, the wisest I have ever known.” - Stephen Fry
“I’m sort of reasonably good at a lot of things but not great at anything yet. I’m a reasonably good writer. I don’t write like Martin Amis, but I wish I did. But I can probably act better than Martin Amis. But I can’t act as well as Kenneth Branagh, but I can probably play the piano better than Kenneth Branagh, but I can’t play the piano as well as Dr. John. I may be able to cook better than Dr. John.” Hugh Laurie
“People say ‘you’ve written books, you’ve been on TV and in films,’ but I’ve never really been able to see that as a big achievement or get a sense of great joy out of it.” Hugh Laurie
“I don’t have a single complete show or movie or anything else that I could look at and say, “Nailed that one.” But endless dissatisfaction is, I suppose, what gets us out of bed in the morning.” Hugh Laurie
