Транскрипт интервью у Смайли (http://www.pbs.org/wnet/tavissmiley/interviews/hugh-laurie-2/?show=21997):
TRANSCRIPT Tavis Smiley: Good evening from Los Angeles. I’m Tavis Smiley. Tonight, a conversation with actor and musician, Hugh Laurie. The six-time Emmy nominee for his indelible portray of “House” on the long-running FOX series is now on tour with the Copper Bottom Band performing classic songs from his second blues album, “Didn’t It Rain.” We’re glad you’ve joined us. A conversation with Hugh Laurie coming up right now.
[Walmart Sponsor Ad] Announcer: And by contributions to your PBS station from viewers like you. Thank you.
Tavis: With six Emmy nominations spread out over the eight-year run of “House, M.D.” on FOX, Hugh Laurie convinced us he was a brilliant, albeit disdainful, physician now on his second blues CD titled “Didn’t It Rain.” He’s convincing us he’s a logical inheritor of the great blues traditions of W.C. Handy and Jelly Roll Morton. Let’s start our conversation first with a cut from this CD called “Evenin’.” [Clip] Tavis: So every artist that I’ve ever talked to in my entire career either loves or hates the way they sound, so…
Hugh Laurie: Hate. Hate, hate, hate. But it’s always been that way. Can’t stand myself on voicemail or anything, no. Always, always hate. Hate the way I sound and hate the way I look. I think that’s the natural state. I cannot understand people who are happy to look at themselves, hear themselves. It’s an absolute mystery to me. I admire it. My God, I wish I could do it, but I can’t.
Tavis: So then how does one judge, how does Hugh Laurie judge, whether or not he is happy with the project? How do you feel that out if you’re not enamored by your own sound?
Laurie: I don’t. I am resigned to perpetual discontent. Usually I need about 10 years to go by and then I can look back on something and I go, well, that was okay. Or I can hear something and that was okay. At the time, I don’t think it’s possible. The only thing you could do is to surround yourself with people you trust and hope that they will steer you in the right direction and say that’s not really happening or thumbs up. I think that’s all you can do. Otherwise, you can get so sort of tied up in your own head, you know, on the tiniest things, sometimes things that no one else would notice.
Tavis: It’s one thing, Hugh, I suspect to not be in love with the sound of your voice. But it’s abundantly clear to me that you know what you love in terms of music when you hear it. I mean, you know the stuff that inspires you.
Laurie: Oh, I do.
Tavis: You know what turns you on.
Laurie: Completely, completely.
Tavis: Well, what was that back in the day?
Laurie: Well, I suppose the first – I’m not completely sure what the first song was. I think it was a Willie Dixon, but I couldn’t swear to it. I was probably eight or nine years old when I heard this song. I suppose it was the first blues song I ever heard, that blue note, and it just hit me like a thunderbolt and I’ve been vibrating ever since. It was like a sort of magical kingdom that I could go to through that door that opened. And Muddy Waters, I suppose, was my first great hero. You know, every boy wants to be a guitar player and Muddy Waters was just the king. He was the King Bee. He was it.
Tavis: You started singing or playing first?
Laurie: Oh, playing, playing. No, the singing, this is a recent arrival. I’m getting better at it [laugh]. It’s something I should have done – well, all of this stuff I should have done more of when I was younger. And there isn’t a human being alive who doesn’t wish they’d worked harder at a musical instrument. Right, right. I’ve never met anyone who says, you know, I’m really glad I gave up the clarinet, you know. Nobody says that.
Tavis: I kick myself every day that I stopped playing saxophone and piano.
Laurie: Yeah. Do you touch them at all now?
Tavis: If I walk across a piano, if I walk past one, I’ll stop and play.
Laurie: Oh, you will?
Tavis: Just…
Laurie: Oh, so the…
Tavis: The saxophone thing, though, I wish I’d stuck with it.
Laurie: The flame is still burning.
Tavis: Yeah. It’s never too late, they say, but…
Laurie: They do say that. I’m not sure if they’re right to say that [laugh], but they do say it, yeah.
Tavis: They do say that. When you look back on your life and your career – this is one of those impossible questions. Let me ask it anyway. How do you think – ’cause I ask myself this all the time – how do you think things might have been different had you been more committed to your musical gift early on in your life?
Laurie: Well, it wasn’t that I wasn’t committed. I mean, my love for this music has been an absolute constant throughout my life. But in terms of actual performance, of actually putting myself out there and doing it, it’s so hard to know. I mean, I realize I’m now in this incredibly blessed position of being able to play with this band and go out on the road and put on these shows. But, of course, that’s only happened after 30-odd years of being an actor. It’s not like it’s a shortcut, being an actor. I wouldn’t advise it as a shortcut. But it’s so hard to know. I mean, you know, music is one of the noblest callings I can think of. It’s the highest of all the art forms to me. For example, if my kid said to me, I want to give it all up, whatever it is that they’re doing, and I want to take my saxophone and go out, I would say, “May God go with you. This is a great and noble thing that you’re doing.” That doesn’t stop it from being incredibly hard. I mean, it’s a brutal, pitiless business in many ways and is only getting more so with, as we all know, the collapse of the record industry. It’s a very, very tough life, but, my God, it’s a beautiful one.
Tavis: I have echoed what you said a moment ago, Hugh. I’ve been asked, I guess, a thousand times over the course of my career about this show, you know, in particular why it is that I talk to so many artists like yourself. It’s because I believe that music is the noblest, the highest, of all the art forms. I know why I feel that way. Why do you feel that way?
Laurie: I just know – well, here’s one little tiny piece of evidence. After a hard day’s work of doing anything, anybody doing any job anywhere, who goes home and says, “Honey, I’ve had a terrible day. Why don’t we do a scene from “Coriolanus” to unwind?” [Laugh] Nobody does that.
Tavis: Yeah [laugh].
Laurie: You know, what people do is that their last refuge when times are hard and when times are not, when times are sweet, the first place people want to go and the last place people go is music. They want to lose themselves in music, be transported by music. Its ability to soothe, to console, to enliven, to inspire is like nothing else that I know of. Whether people want to dance or they just want to let it wash over them, it has a power that language, for all its great beauty and sophistication, cannot ever quite address. Even the greatest poets, I think, cannot quite get to the places that music can get to in the human – I was gonna say mind, but it’s actually the entire body. It somehow seems to infuse the entire body.
Tavis: So that, if I take your point, any gift that is pregnant with that kind of power, any gift that is that noble, has to be, I think, treated and regarded with the kind of respect that a vocation like that demands.
Laurie: I completely agree.
Tavis: And some artists do that and some artists don’t.
Laurie: I completely agree, absolutely. And one of the things I’m so keen to do in the show that we’re doing on the road now is to express in the most respectful terms, I mean, without it becoming, you know, Poe faced, but to express my admiration and my love for this music as respectfully as I can. The only thing I could say, I suppose, is that – and I could put my hand on my heart and say that everything we do in the show is sincere. We don’t do anything, or I couldn’t imagine us doing anything, that is just for effect, you know. Oh, we don’t really like this, but it’ll probably go well. You know, this will get them on their feet or this will – I can’t really do that. I can’t imagine doing that. The songs we play are the songs we love and I love them as much today as I did yesterday and will tomorrow. It’s sincere is what I mean.
Tavis: Give me some sense of the show. When this project first came out, we talked about it on my radio program.
Laurie: Right, right.
Tavis: I’ve been listening to it since it came out and loving every piece of it. And now, as you mentioned, you and the band are on tour around the country going to different places, different venues. Give me some sense of what I’m going to see, what we are going to see when we see you on the road. What’s the show like?
Laurie: Well, I’ll tell you first of all what I wanted it not to be.
Tavis: Okay.
Laurie: And that was, I didn’t just want it to be a recital. I wanted it to have a sort of theatricality to it, a sort of – you know, for it to really be a show with a capital S. And I hope that we have – I believe – no, I’m gonna go further. I know that we have achieved this. I’m so proud of the show that we’re doing. And I know that, if I were sitting there, I would love it. That sounds cocky, I know, but I’m gonna say…
