Hugh Laurie Interview with Hollywood.com
Sunday, September 30th, 2007
Hugh Laurie gave an interview to Hollywood.com recently - they asked him some very interesting questions! Here’s a small peek:
Hollywood.com: How will House torture the new intern candidates?
Hugh Laurie: He has many devious means of inflicting psychological torture. Every candidate, every team of candidates, gets their own specific torment that they have to go through.
HW: With such a tight ensemble, how does it feel to let other people in there?
HL: It feels fine. Actually, that’s a better question for them rather than me, because I feel like I’m sort of doing the same thing every day. I think everyone feels optimistic about where we’re going and they feel good about being in a show that they’re proud of. Both the new people and the people who have already done it feel proud of what they do–and that’s the main thing.
HW: Have you ever read anything in one of the scripts so outrageous even you have a hard time?
HL: No. I think I never have read anything that was un-actable. I’ve read things that I thought, ‘Wow, this is going to be tough. We are going to have to get this right because if we don’t this whole thing isn’t going to work at all.’ But no, David Shore is just simply too smart a writer, as are his cowriters. They are just too smart to really hang anybody out to dry, as it were.
HW: Has anything ever made you hate him as a person?
HL: No, no. I completely agree that House is not an easy proposition. He may not even be morally a good man. But then, the truth is we don’t only like the people who are morally good. Of all the friends we have, are they the 10 morally best people we ever met? No, of course they are not, that is not how we choose our friends. Thank God, because it would be a weird universe if we did.

Yay Hugh! Is anyone else psyched for the next episode on Tuesday night?!
I have to say that I’m also semi-addicted to CSI. Check out what’s happening in the new season over here!
