Whether you agree with me or disagree with me; like me or loathe me, don’t bind my hands when I am negotiating on behalf of the British nation. (British Quotes)

The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except, of course, language (British Quotes)

My accent has changed my whole life. When I was younger, it was very Nigerian, then when we went to England, it was very British. I think I have a very strange, hybrid accent, and I’ve worked very hard to get a solid American accent, which is what I use most of the time. (British Quotes)
When I’m just walking around, I swap between the British and the American, and when I’m with my family I’m with my Nigerian accent. (British Quotes)
I’m still a member of the Empire! Although I sometimes feel like an American with a British accent - you get contaminated after so long. (British Quotes)

The American audiences are more vocal and enthusiastic. British audiences tend to sit back a little more. (British Quotes)
British audiences tend to want to see their own lives reflected on TV, whereas American audiences are quite aspirational and enjoy high-concept shows that show them lives that are perhaps slightly more exciting than they aspire to. (British Quotes)
American audiences tend to underappreciate the British, but 240 years ago they were us: They were the most powerful nation on Earth. Their mercantile empire spanned the planet. They had the most potent and experienced army and navy the world had ever seen. (British Quotes)
I’ve gotten more flack from the remake nature of our ‘Being Human’ from American audiences than I have from British fans. Every fan of the BBC original that I’ve bumped into seemed very excited and interested in seeing what we did with it - at least to my face! (British Quotes)
From infancy, I had been accustomed to hear pro and con discussions of slavery and the American Civil War. Although the British government finally decided not to recognise the Confederacy, public opinion in England was sharply divided on the questions both of slavery and of secession. (British Quotes)
The very same British and American families who had combined to wreck the Indian textile industry in the promotion of the opium trade [...] combined to make the trade, a valuable source of revenue.

In the late 1930s, both the British and American movie industries made a succession of films celebrating the decency of the British Empire in order to challenge the threatening tide of Nazism and fascism and also to provide employment for actors from Los Angeles’s British colony. The best two were Hollywood’s Gunga Din and Britain’s The Four Feathers. (British Quotes)
We should not forget that the spark which ignited the American Revolution was caused by the British attempt to confiscate the firearms of the colonists. (British Quotes)
There are cases - for example, the American Revolution. George Washington’s army lost just about every battle with the British, who had a much better army. The war was basically won by guerrilla forces that managed to undermine the British occupation. (British Quotes)
