I think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously; I find that a very tedious attitude.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Actually, I think it's quite sensible not to take yourself too seriously.
People sometimes mistake being serious with being taken seriously.
It's funny, a lot of people think I take myself seriously because I come off so serious sometimes. But it's not that I take myself seriously, I take what I do seriously.
I'm always amazed that people take what I say seriously. I don't even take what I am seriously.
I hate the way the English have of not being serious about being serious, I really hate it.
It turns out that understanding the British public is not rocket science. The British appreciate honesty and they also have a bonkers, off-the-wall sense of humour like me.
The British have turned their sense of humour into a national virtue. It is odd, because through much of history, humour has been considered cheap, and laughter something for the lower orders. But British aristocrats didn't care a damn about what people thought of them, so they made humour acceptable.
When people take themselves really seriously, I find it silly and amusing.
We live a happy life, and we don't take anything too seriously.
We're so politically correct; we take things so seriously.
