There's so much cynicism around in Britain, especially in the press. The American press might be naive, but at least you feel as if they're on your side.

The British press are a group of unremitting scumbags. And sometimes they use that scumbaggery to good ends, and often not.

The British press has been unfair to me and the public has followed.

I've never got on with the British press because they've always given me such a hard time. Once they build a band up they just want to do people down. They shouldn't concentrate on the colour of someone's shirt they should listen to the music.

The British media is sinking down, as the American news media has lowered the bar for all of humanity. British news media is definitely trying to stoop down to that level. Everyone is stooping to the lowest common denominator.

I am certainly not racist; I even like the British.

I like the best of the British press. The best of the British press is very good.

England is a fairly envious little country and it's embodied in the press. They don't like anyone being more distinguished than they are.

When I came to Britain I was in awe of the British press, afraid of them. But they're not as ferocious as people think. In some instances they are, but when it comes to taking on power they're really deferential.
