* On Cambridge: "I went there to row. I'll be blunt with it. It's been
ten years, and I think the admissions tutor can take it now...but
that's really what I went for, and anthropology was the most convenient
subject to read while spending eight hours a day on the river."
* On the Oxford vs. Cambridge Boat Race: "The year was 1980, I was no. 4
in this particular encounter, and the result was a loss by Cambridge by
a distance of five feet, which is something which I will carry to my
grave....In fact, I shouldn't really say this, because I still to this
day wouldn't want to give any pleasure or satisfaction to the opposing
crew. But yes, it's true, it was a very bitter defeat."
* On picking up his new hobby: "Boxing is fascinating. It's good for the
soul to be made to feel clumsy. I swank around during the week thinking
I'm a big cheese, but you don't feel like that when you're in the ring
with a chap who knows what he's doing. It's ritual humiliation. I'm
going to be slugged about and probably killed, but I love it and have
to do something to keep fit."
* "I picked a reverence for medicine because I rather hero-worshiped my
father [a former doctor], and because I admire doctors, I admire study,
empiricism and rational thought. I don't admire crystals and chewing
willow bark and herbal remedies."
* On his late father's reaction to Dr. House: "He would be absolutely
appalled. He was an endlessly polite, generous and soft-spoken man. He
was no pushover, but he would never hurt, shock or outrage people just
for the hell of it. At the same time, I hope he would be entertained
and see that science and logic are like a religion to House. He'd
approve of that."
* On what he misses about England: "The buildings and the cruelty.
They're very harsh people, the British: hard to impress, very tough on
each other, but I rather like that. It's not that the British are more
honest - you're just under no illusion with them. LA runs on optimism,
enthusiasm and flattery. I think you can go a little bit crazy. I've
heard people say there's a limit to the number of years you can stay in
this city without going slightly mad. It's just too damn sunny in every
dimension - weather-wise, socially and professionally."
* "I travel to work on my motorcycle, so it's jeans, boots and a brown
Aero leather jacket that weighs as much as I do. If it were black, it
would seem like I've got a Brando idea going on, which I don't."
* On raising his daughter: "Girls are complicated. The instruction manual
that comes with girls is 800 pages, with chapters 14, 19, 26 and 32
missing, and it's badly translated, hard to figure out."
* "I grew up with an impatience with the anti-scientific. So I'm a bit
miffed with our current love affair with all things Eastern. If I
sneeze on the set, 40 people hand me echinacea. But I'd no sooner take
that than eat a pencil. Maybe that's why I took up boxing. It's my
response to men in white pajamas feeling each other's chi."
* "It's as if you're playing left-handed. Or like everyone else is
playing with a tennis racket and you have a salmon." - on the
difficulty of performing with an American accent.
* His speech after winning a Golden Globe for his portrayal of House: "I
am absolutely speechless. Seriously, I don't have a speech. People are
falling all over themselves to send you free shoes and free cuff links
and colonic irrigations for two. Nobody ever offers you a free
acceptance speech. There just seems to be a gap in the market. I would
love to be able to pull out a speech by Dolce & Gabbana.""
