I'm not posh or common, I'm in between.

I'm not posh, not in the slightest. My parents spent some money on my education, but I wasn't born to the purple.

I certainly never saw myself as posh.

I'm not actually posh; I'm really rough and from the wrong side of the tracks. I grew up in Putney, which is pretty rough.

I'm not posh at all. I grew up in Sheffield but never managed to pick up the accent - which was careless because there'd be some cache now in being a northern playwright, but I missed out on that one.

If someone thinks I'm posh, it just shows how lowly they are. Some people think I went to Eton. I'm far too stupid to get into Eton.

'Posh' is not really political. I didn't want to aim a brickbat at the system. Or to bash Old Etonians. It was always the class and privilege aspect of that world that I was most drawn to. There is something endlessly fascinating about imagining something you could never be involved in.

Posh is a way of living that can often be quite miserly and not about money.

I think you can't be really posh and be an interesting actor. I'm a bit of a posh rough.

It's quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.
