Reason 132: He’s not at ease with happiness
“I have my moments. Ever since I was a boy, I never was someone who was at ease with happiness. Too often I embrace introspection and self-doubt. I wish I could embrace the good things.” Hugh Laurie
I: Are you happy now?
Hugh Laurie: I don’t know. That’s not a question I ask myself very often. I equate happiness with contentment, and contentment with complacency, and complacency with impending disaster.
“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.” Hugh Laurie
“I’m a little bit suspicious of happiness generally.” Hugh Laurie

Reason 129: (Fact) He’s recorded two different versions of “Minnie the Moocher”
-Hugh Laurie, in a 2006 interview on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, stated that his charity cover band, Band from TV, has the most popular recording of “Minnie the Moocher” available on the iTunes Store. Laurie also performs a part of the song in the first episode of the British comedy television series Jeeves and Wooster, playing the role of Bertie Wooster, duetting with Reginald Jeeves, played by Stephen Fry. The episode first aired in 1990. A recording was later released on the Jeeves and Wooster soundtrack.-
JL: And can you download any of your tunes?
Hugh Laurie: This is a huge thrill for me. We’ve done one song for the soundtrack of House and there was one other song that is now an extra you can get on…
JL: And what’s that other song?
Hugh Laurie: It’s Minnie the Moocher, and I happened to go and look I have to share this…
JL: Cab Calloway’s song? The song he made famous, the genius, the man they call the heart…
Hugh Laurie: Yes, Cab Calloway’s song but listen, I know… Thank you… Alright, are you ready? So of about 50 versions of Minnie the Moocher available on iTunes and I’m afraid to say that ours is the most popular. It’s got a little popular…
JL: Really? Congratulations!
Hugh Laurie: Yeah, thank you. And it was a real thrill cause I mean I love and revere Cab Calloway, I don’t wish to, you know, etcetera but… it was just a huge thrill to… you know…
