A Quote by Hugh Laurie

The strange thing - and this is one of the advantages of being incredibly shallow and superficial - is that wherever I am, that's sort of home. — © Hugh Laurie
The strange thing - and this is one of the advantages of being incredibly shallow and superficial - is that wherever I am, that's sort of home.
You see, deep down beneath my superficial and shallow exterior, I'm really very superficial and shallow.
People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.
People think I'm as shallow and superficial as I look, and it's a surprise when they find out, sure enough, I am.
I despise those shallow religious comics. Dennis the Menace, for instance, is the most shallow. When they show him praying - I just can't stand that sort of thing, talking to God about some cutesy thing that he'd done during the day. I don't think Hank Ketcham has any deep knowledge of things like that.
People say sometimes that Beauty is superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is. To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
The way I've described Helen's sort of rigorous honesty I just think he also has tremendously. It's very strange... he just has this sort of way of making it happen really. You're not really aware of being directed, so much as being a part of this thing.
In Iceland, you can see the contours of the mountains wherever you go, and the swell of the hills, and always beyond that the horizon. And there's this strange thing: you're never sort of hidden; you always feel exposed in that landscape. But it makes it very beautiful as well.

Being an actor is a nomadic profession, and I just try to feel at home wherever I am at that moment.
Were not one thing, as human beings, so any character that is written uni-dimensional, thats just a shallow character with shallow writing and shallow acting.
You know, I used to be made fun of as a kid for being really articulate; it was sort of like a strange thing.
It is a strange thing to come home. While yet on the journey, you cannot at all realize how strange it will be.
I hate superficial violence. It's shallow and stupid, and the impact on the audience is really bad.
I am aware that I've generally been more attracted to introspective roles, but it's sort of bizarre, because it's the opposite of who I am in many ways. I think I'm quite an extroverted, loud person. So it interests me that that's sort of the place that I go all quiet, is when I'm onscreen. It's a bit strange.
Home is essentially a set of values you carry around with you and, like a turtle or a snail or whatever, home has to be something that is part of you and can be equally a part of you wherever you are. I think that not having a home is a good inducement to creating a metaphysical home and to being able to see it in more invisible ways.
Peace comes from being aligned with the present moment. Wherever you are, you feel that you are home—because you are home.
