London Quotes

I live with four of my best friends - with my brother and three of my best friends - and we have a lot of fun; there’s a really tight bunch of us in London Picture Quote #1

Our pop scene is among the best in the world because there are 300 languages spoken on the streets of London, compared with 200 in New York. Our diversity is our strength Picture Quote #1

I just want to give my best in London, I want to cross that line and see a personal best on the clock then I will see what position I am in Picture Quote #1

I’m a member of the African diaspora: my parents left the Caribbean and came to London for a better life Picture Quote #1

When I was at school studying biology, I wanted to be a medical researcher. I did work experience at St Mary’s Hospital in London, and I begged them to let me see the post mortems. So the first time I saw a naked male was at 15, when I saw an 89 year old man who had died of a brain hemorrhage Picture Quote #1

Truly, I am a woman of the last minute. When I was pregnant, I organised three different hospitals because I couldn’t decide where I wanted to have my baby: London, Rome or Paris. In the end, I decided to go to Rome, arrived on the Monday and gave birth on the Saturday Picture Quote #1

I believe that if writers want their readers to care about a character, they have to care themselves. I have to root for a detective who screws up as much as Thorne does, who shares my birthday, my North London stomping ground, and my love of country music, both alt and cheesy Picture Quote #1

I used to go to musicals every birthday - that was my birthday present. We’d go to London, me and my two brothers and mum and dad. I think I saw ‘Mamma Mia’ about five times Picture Quote #1

The Italians are very unmusical. If I go to a Protestant church in London or Amsterdam or listen to a black choir, I hear four-part harmony. Italians could never do that. In Italy, we all have to sing the melody because we cannot harmonise Picture Quote #1

I’ve diced with death the most cycling around London. Black cabs are far more dangerous than polar bears Picture Quote #1

Me being a black girl in London, whose mom is first-generation African and whose dad is West Indian, gives me a different view. I’m coming at soul from my own place Picture Quote #1

I used to do a Saturday drama group called Young Blood Theatre Company with school-friends in west London - nothing to do with my mum and dad. A casting director came to pick people out for a new BBC children’s series called ‘MI High.’ She picked me, I auditioned, and I got the job Picture Quote #1

You see in the streets of London, great and little boys running about in long blue coats, which, like robes, reach quite down to the feet, and little white bands, such as the clergy wear Picture Quote #1

I went to comprehensive school in North London and left without any qualifications [diploma]. And I was doing bits of acting and improv in a drama club in the evenings. Then I discovered you didn’t need qualifications to go to art school, you just needed a body of work Picture Quote #1

The Prince’s blunt candor has been a scandal for 500 years. The book was placed on the Papal Index of banned books in 1559, and its author was denounced on the Elizabethan stages of London as the ‘Evil Machiavel.’ The outrage has not dimmed with time Picture Quote #1

I was surprised recently to find a book called Poetry in Persons that’s coming out about visit to poets to a class that Pearl London gave Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been much of a European traveler. London once on a book tour, and Italy because that’s where Ferraris are from. That’s about it Picture Quote #1

If I’m researching something strange and rococo, I’ll go to the London Library or the British Library and look it up in books Picture Quote #1

In some of the great cities of Europe - Paris, Vienna, Prague, and Brussels - tourists bored with life above ground can descend below. All these cities have sewer museums and tours, and all expose their underbelly willingly to the curious. But not London, arguably the home of the most splendid sewer network in Europe Picture Quote #1

I’m incredibly boring; I had a very happy childhood. I never starved, nor did I have a silver spoon in my mouth. I’m one of those terribly middle-of-the-road, British middle class, South London gents Picture Quote #1

I think both of us [ with Steve Oram], once we decided to do comedy, knew that we would have to come to London to do that Picture Quote #1

I’m a good little middle-class boy. I live in Gloucestershire or Kensington. I don’t exist in the war zone, but it’s certainly not far away. I grew up in an area where it is a war zone - south London Picture Quote #1

I did get to shadow some amazing brain surgeons, a female brain surgeon in Toronto, another surgeon in London. And then we had a surgeon onset [of Doctor Strange] every day. So and he taught me to do sutures and was practicing on turkey breasts, raw turkey breasts Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s all I’ve wanted to do. I did local plays and productions, local theater groups and anything that involved it. And then, I went and studied it, attended drama school and got my first lucky break in the theater in London, and just went from there Picture Quote #1

In London in the 1980s some migrants from former British colonies in the Caribbean responded to racist attacks with a powerful slogan: We are here because you were there Picture Quote #1

I used to watch a lot of American and British television as a child, which helped teach me the language and accents; it was partly that which landed me the part of Roxy in a London production of ‘Chicago’ when I was 25 Picture Quote #1

In Britain, there’s kids who grew up in London and then kids who didn’t. You become quite street wise. It’s such a big city, and everyone is moving and trying to get on with their lives. You don’t have the everyday village quality like, ‘Hello, how are you? Would you like your tea?’ It’s more like, ‘Get out my way.’ But I’m very proud of London Picture Quote #1

You only have to look at London, where almost half of all primary school children speak English as a second language, to see the challenges we now face as a country. This isn’t fair to anyone: how can people build relationships with their neighbours if they can’t even speak the same language? Picture Quote #1
