I wanted to acknowledge my U.S. heritage and to belong to it more closely. Having said that, I am certainly British by formation and education and readily think of London as home. I had never lived in the U.S. till 2007.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am British. I love Britain for all its faults and all its virtues. My husband is American and I am largely based in Los Angeles, but whenever someone asks me where home is, I automatically say 'London.'
I lived in London for eight years and I like to say that I am two parts American and one part British because I lived there for a third of my life.
All the things that are part of your heritage make you British - that makes this country what it is. It's part of your history. And here, unlike America, it's still living history.
I do consider myself British. I have very strong feelings about my British heritage.
I'm definitely an American, because I grew up here. But I've lived very happily in Britain.
I'll always be a Brit abroad, and I love London so much, but New York is my home.
I am a Londoner and I love my home. There are many things about this country which drive me crazy, but when I am in America, I feel wrong there.
There's something very special about seeing history so clearly in front of you through that architecture that you just don't get in the U.S. If I was asked to choose where I'd most like to live, I would always choose London.
I was brought up in Britain, and I'm very proud of my Britishness and my culture.
I am an American. I adore Britain and have a strong English half, but my roots are here in the U.S. - it is not a matter of choice; it is simply fact.
