Laurie is quoted in the BBC as saying, "This is not a fair world. I'm 57 now and I've lived a life of extraordinary good fortune from start to finish, so much so I'm anticipating a piano falling on my head to redress the balance.

"I've been incredibly lucky. I'm going to bask in this extraordinary honour and my extraordinary good luck and I'll set to work first thing tomorrow on the global unfairness problem."

The Guardianreports that longtime friend and fellow comedian Stephen Fry paid tribute to Laurie, saying, “He’s slightly knock-kneed and his nipples are too far apart, but he’s otherwise almost perfect."

Fry added of his “repulsively handsome” friend that he is also “preposterously talented.” Indeed, Laurie has a novel to his name, several credits in directing and producing, and moonlights as a blues and jazz musician to boot.
