British Quotes

I’d rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films Picture Quote #1

I have always thought we should think less about the British film industry as an entity, and more about getting British talent working Picture Quote #1

Viceroy’ is the first British film about the Raj and the transfer of power from Britain to India made by a British Indian director. It is a British film made from an Indian perspective Picture Quote #1

I like the constant rise and fall of the British film industry. But above all, I like the workhorses who kept going no matter what Picture Quote #1

I was offered Fagin-type roles, but I wanted to do new things. I could have worked in America, but there was a recession in the British film industry, and I wanted to work in England. I’ve no regrets Picture Quote #1

The thing that runs through the British film industry even today is a lot of unsung movies are financially the bigger ones. Even though they weren’t always the greatest of movies, something in them was very potent which people loved Picture Quote #1

The British film industry has always tried to sell itself as something rather sophisticated. It’s almost as if it thinks it is by royal command. It has always tried to claim the high ground, not only over Hollywood but over the whole of humanity! Picture Quote #1

The Hollywood image of the movie business is all about ambition and high achievers like James Cameron. But the British film industry is much more about men who wear cravats and work with model trains and hope another series of ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ will be commissioned Picture Quote #1

I want to know where my food comes from and the conditions in which it’s grown. I also want to embrace traditional British produce, and seasonality Picture Quote #1

About 30% of fresh food is thrown away in supermarkets every day, although they will deny it. British households are throwing an estimated 30% of their food away, too Picture Quote #1

If there is to be any hope of prosperity for this country it is by reversing that policy which made us simply the kitchen garden for supplying the British with cheap food Picture Quote #1

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and this without any qualification as to their condition or degree, as is the case in the British government Picture Quote #1

Sometimes Americans don’t quite get my sense of humor. My good ol’ British sarcasm seems to go over their heads Picture Quote #1

I think at its best the American sense of humor is the same as the British sense of humor at its best, which is to be wry and ironic and self deprecating Picture Quote #1

I really wouldn’t want to live in America. I found New York claustrophobic and dirty. I missed England when I was there, simple things like smells and the British sense of humor Picture Quote #1

I have no idea what a British sensibility or a British sense of humor is. I have no concept of what that is. I have no concept of what American sensibility is. I was born in Great Britain, but I was only there for six months, and we moved to Belgium, where I grew up Picture Quote #1
