England Quotes

I adore the game, but wouldn’t be interested in being the England coach in a million years Picture Quote #1

Everyone in England knows about Burberry, and it kind of represents a standard of being well-dressed... But the nice thing is, they have a lot of clothes, so I still feel like myself whenever I’m wearing their clothes Picture Quote #1

England was always very special. It was so important because the reason Benny and I started writing was the Beatles. During the Sixties, England was everything. To be number one in England was more important than being number one in America because England set the tone Picture Quote #1

In England, there is a dividing line between artists and illustrators, who are thought inferior to painters. Well, that’s absolute rubbish. Some of the most creative work is being done in children’s books. In Japan, everything is art. They don’t say painting is better than ceramics or dress design Picture Quote #1

I believe, and this is perhaps too nationalistic a view, that the American style of acting puts actors quickly in touch with each other, so that their continuous presence in a company, as in England, is not absolutely necessary Picture Quote #1

It would no doubt be very sentimental to argue - but I would argue it nevertheless - that the peculiar combination of joy and sadness in bell music - both of clock chimes, and of change-ringing - is very typical of England. It is of a piece with the irony in which English people habitually address one another Picture Quote #1

Born in England during the First World War, of Belgian parents with partly German roots, I grew up in the cosmopolitan city of Antwerp, where I had the benefit of a classical education taught in the two national languages of Belgium: French and Dutch Picture Quote #1

Each decision will be done on a case-by-case basis and we’ll make the decision we feel is best for the New England Patriots football team Picture Quote #1

Leaving England was a painful decision, and we still have some regrets about it. However, at that time, the research environment for theoretical chemistry was clearly better in the U.S Picture Quote #1

I live in Beverly Hills and I’m proud of it. The only things I miss are pie and mash shops and football games. I’ve lived in America longer than I lived in England. When I first got here, it just felt right to me. I like the open space, and the weather’s great Picture Quote #1

In England, I suppose I have been known to once or twice tune into ‘Big Brother’, which is a pretty terrible guilty pleasure Picture Quote #1

In England, David and I are big fish in a small pond. But in L.A., we are tiny, tiny, tiny fish in a big pond Picture Quote #1

As soon as I started acting in England, I got unusual roles. Although I’m 6 foot six, and agents might standardly cast me in tough guy roles or the big guy in the back, I’ve been very blessed to do roles that makes them think twice about how they’re gonna cast me Picture Quote #1

I don’t see no black and white couples in England or America walking around proud holding their children and going out Picture Quote #1

I like the ‘Cirque du Freak’ books - ‘Tunnel of Blood’ by Darren Shan. They’re set in England. It’s about vampires Picture Quote #1

We pretend to be a middle class, democratic nation, but in reality we love our blue bloods. ... We love the prep school manners, the aristocratic calm, the Skull and Bones mystery, the dappled lawns stretching before New England summer homes. How else can you explain the Bush vs. Kerry match-up that confronts us this year Picture Quote #1

The captains of England and Australia can barely exchange pleasantries these days without a body-language expert immediately declaiming on the angle of their handshakes Picture Quote #1

The Old Testament God is a person with body parts and passions. The Church of England God has neither body, parts nor passions, and is therefore not a person Picture Quote #1

That Book, the Bible, accounts for the supremacy of England. England has become great and happy by the knowledge of the true God through Jesus Christ Picture Quote #1

I can bore for England on the subject of James Bond. But I knew I couldn’t do it frivolously; I had to take it very seriously, however much fun I was having. And I had to make myself, you know, absolutely steeped in Bond and in Fleming and that world Picture Quote #1

Just getting out of your town seems to be a pervasive thing in England. But I don’t want to keep grinding the axe forever, it’s boring Picture Quote #1

My parents are Irish, my grandparents are Irish, my great-grandparents are Irish. I was born in England; my blood is Irish Picture Quote #1

In college, I was a researcher/writer for ‘Let’s Go: Europe,’ assigned to Crete and Cyprus. I was supposed to go to England, but at the last minute they transferred me, despite the fact that I spoke not a word of Greek. I learned the very basics, and to this day can say ‘oil,’ ‘vinegar,’ and ‘boyfriend in America.’ Picture Quote #1

Up the Junction’ went on to inform my love of British social realism. It was the first film I saw of this ilk, a very stark, visceral reflection of England, an England I didn’t necessarily feel a part of but that I knew was out there. You could almost smell the bread and butter and cabbage Picture Quote #1

I come from Yorkshire in England where we like to eat chip sandwiches - white bread, butter, tomato ketchup and big fat french fries cooked in beef dripping Picture Quote #1

When I first left drama school, I was too posh for the working-class parts and not posh enough for the upper-class roles. You know what England is like: the gradations of accent and how you’re judged by them are still there. I discovered that to get a break you have to lie about where you’re from Picture Quote #1

When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, inner life in which freedom lives. In which a man can draw the breath of self-respect Picture Quote #1

Denmark as a country has always looked up to England. I’ve always felt that British actors are fantastic. There’s a strong theatre tradition in your country, and that is reflected in TV and film as well. We’ve always thought that for crime series, you were the masters, and the general feeling the Danes have of British drama is that it’s excellent Picture Quote #1

I received an OBE from the Queen, which probably doesn’t mean anything in America but is quite nice in England - the Order of the British Empire for services to drama Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been drawn to the Edwardian period in England. To me, it seems like such a fascinating time, when the British Empire was at the height of its powers and the strict mores of the Victorian age were dissipating into the decadence of King Edward’s reign Picture Quote #1
