Home will always be London. There's something unique about the British. It's about cheekiness.

The country of Britain is wonderful because of its royalty.

Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.

I really appreciate the British part of my family.

London has been used as the emblematic English city, but it's far from representative of what life in England is actually about.

Brits are cool at the moment. We've taken over the world, what with 'Game of Thrones', 'Downton Abbey', One Direction... to be British is to be fashionable.

I love London, I love the British people.

I don't have a deep link with England like, say, Jonathan Coe or Hanif Kureishi might demonstrate. For me, it is like a mythical place.

I love the British.

I love England and the historical aspect of it.
