When I'm in the U.K. - and I'm here more than people would think - I tend to keep a very low profile.

I think I'm more European in personality.

I seem to get recognized more in London and Europe than over here in the States.

You know, I've just about got used to the fact that people in Britain know who I am on some level, but the notion that there's any kind of international recognition is still slightly bizarre to me.

I think the U.K. is too small to write about from within it and still make it seem foreign and exotic and interesting.

We link our future to the euro, to the euro zone, and to the European Union while being the nearest neighbor of the United Kingdom with, obviously, a common travel area and a very close working relationship with the U.K.

I do more work in Britain than I do anywhere else in the world.

I have a European frame of mind and Europe is my home.

I've lived in Paris. I've lived in the Slovak Republic. I've spent extensive time in England, and I've traveled all over Europe.

My life is European.
