HUGH LAURIE on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

Watch this interview to Hugh Laurie on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in 2011. He talks about House MD and his music.

I know they speak quite fast, but try to answer these simple questions:
- Where's he from? Where does he live?
- Where did he study?
- He says: 'I rowed. Not horses' (that would be 'rode'... they sound exactly the same). What sport did he practice at university?
- Is he an optimist or a pessimist? Why?
- What's the name of his band? And what's their new album called? What kind of music do they play?
