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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been well-known in Britain for a long time.
I don't get recognized in England. Not at all. Every so often, I get recognized in other countries.
British people are surprised that I'm British! It's extraordinary, I get tweets every day from British people saying, 'I had no idea you were British.'
I always feel I'm better known in England than I am here in the U.S. Americans don't read that much, and the French are very good at knowing the names of everybody.
I seem to get recognized more in London and Europe than over here in the States.
I never get recognised here in London, which I like. Once a year, someone comes up to me and asks if I am 'so-and-so's niece' because they think they recognise me from somewhere. I like that.
I'm very, very happy with my recognition/lack of recognition in England in terms of my life. In terms of household name-age. The public's memory is very short, luckily.
I don't get recognised in London or at home either - very seldom anyway. Either that or I look so crazy no one wants to come up to me.
You have to go through a mental and emotional process to recognize who you really are. I finally recognized that I cannot be defined by one country.
Most commonly, I've been recognized from people who aren't actually from England.
