Hugh Laurie Frases y Citas

“Acabé por encontrar un taxi y le dije al taxista en mi mejor inglés que quería ir a la plaza de Wenceslao. Esta solicitud, ahora ya lo sé, es fonéticamente idéntica a la frase checa que significa: «Soy un turista imbécil, por favor, quédese con todo lo que tengo.» El coche era un Tatra, y el taxista un cabrón; conducía rápido y bien, y tarareaba alegremente por lo bajo, como un hombre que acaba de acertar una quiniela…
Cuando el conductor me dijo cuánto dinero quería, dediqué varios minutos a explicarle que no quería comprarle el taxi; sólo quería pagar los quince minutos que había pasado a bordo. Me dijo que había contratado una limusina, o al menos dijo «limusina» y se encogió de hombros, y finalmente aceptó reducir sus exigencias a una cantidad meramente astronómica. Recogí mi maleta y comencé a caminar.”

Hugh Laurie

“Nos sentamos en la cocina sin decir gran cosa, ocupados en tomar el té y fumar. La mente de Ronnie estaba en otras cosas, y a ojo de buen cubero diría que había estado llorando. Eso, o había intentado maquillarse con un rodillo. Le ofrecí un whisky pero no le interesó, así que me serví las últimas cuatro gotas e intenté hacerlas durar. Quería concentrarme en ella, y sacar a Lucas, Barnes y Murdah de mi mente, porque se la veía alterada y se encontraba en la habitación. Los demás, no.”

Hugh Laurie: Frases en inglés

“I would cling to unhappiness because it was a known, familiar state. When I was happier, it was because I knew I was on my way back to misery. I've never been convinced that happiness is the object of the game. I'm wary of happiness.”

The Gun Seller (1996)

“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.”

Contexto: (Answering "What made you step up to making your own record?") I felt like I may not get opportunities to do this ever again, so it’s about time—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’s almost no such thing as ready. There’s only now. And you may as well do it now. I mean, I say that confidently as if I’m about to go bungee jumping or something—I’m not. I’m not a crazed risk taker. But I do think that, generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

“I don't believe in God, but I have this idea that if there were a God, or destiny of some kind looking down on us, that if he saw you taking anything for granted he’d take it away. So he'll be like: 'You think this is going pretty well?”

“O'Neal had uttered three words: 'Conspiracy to murder.'
The correct word for me to repeat in an incredulous tone of voice would have been 'murder'; a very small, and psychiatrically disturbed, section of the population might have opted for the 'to'; but the one word out of the three I most definitely should not have chosen to repeat was 'conspiracy.”

“Death and disaster are at our shoulders every second of our lives, trying to get at us. Missing, a lot of the time. A lot of miles on the motorway without a front wheel blow-out. A lot of viruses that slither through our bodies without snagging. A lot of pianos that fall a minute after we've passed. Or a month, it makes no difference.
So unless were going to get down on our knees and give thanks every time disaster misses, it makes no sense to moan when it strikes.”

“Newton's Third Law of Conversation, if it existed, would hold that every statement implies an equal and opposite statement. To say that I'd turned the offer down raised the possibility that I might not have done.”

“Dawn was definitely pulling into the station by now, and the snow had begun to throb with an electric, new-fallen whiteness. It climbed the inside of my trousers, and clung, squeakily, to the soles of my boots, and the bit just in front seemed to say ‘don’t walk on me, please don’t walk... oh.”

The Ralph Lauren blonde came over and asked me if I needed any help with the menu, and I asked her to explain what potatoes were. She didn’t laugh.”
