English Quotes

My parents are both English. My dad is a plastic surgeon - his name’s Norman Waterhouse, but we call him Normy. And my mom’s a nurse, which is how they met - in a hospital, over decaying bone Picture Quote #1

David Bowie is the quintessential English gentleman and, of course, a musical and generational institution. I only played support for him for one night (not a whole tour) but he was incredibly gracious and generous toward me and I’ve certainly never forgotten it Picture Quote #1

Older boys were allowed to beat younger ones at my 15th-century English boarding school, and every boy had to run a five-mile annual steeplechase through the sludge and rain of an October day, as horses do. We wrote poems in dead languages and recited the Lord’s Prayer in Latin every Sunday night Picture Quote #1

If I were a teacher, I would like to teach freshman English - so I could be the Robin Williams type in Dead Poets Society. I wanna be that guy. I couldn’t teach seniors because they’d be smarter than me Picture Quote #1

I’d been trying for a while to get parts that weren’t just the English bad guy, so it was quite refreshing to be playing someone who was a compassionate, decent guy Picture Quote #1

Harrison Ford - one of my favorite actors - has a wonderful sense of character and depth and uniqueness to him, yet he’s able to just deliver the lines without putting any English on it Picture Quote #1

As a child, during the war, I drew Spitfires and Messerschmitts. With Spot, I found that I had designed a fuselage! His spot is on his side, the roundel marking of an English fighter plane, and the color bar of his tail is the color stripes of a plane’s rudder Picture Quote #1

Independent graphic novelists have already achieved good work in terms of design, but all these great minds are writing in English. There is a need for people to write in Hindi Picture Quote #1

The working classes in England were always sentimental, and the Irish and Scots and Welsh. The upper-class English are the stiff-upper-lipped ones. And the middle class.
