Diana Dors
A woman, who shall remain nameless, said to me, `You`re going to love LA, Paul, because over here ambition is not a dirty word.` And I thought, `Well, you`ve named one of the things that I feel quite patriotic about.` It`s still a little bit embarrassing ...

Peter Mandelson, two times thrown out, is now representing Britain in Europe. In the olden times, they would have hung him up by his feet. The decisions in the UK are made by President Tony Blair and a couple of his cooks in the kitchen.
Sean Connery
I hope that as I build a body of work, that tendency to connect me with my father in particular will diminish. Already, it varies from country to country. In Britain, my father was very important. Not that he wasn`t in the States, but somehow, it seems to...
Rebecca Miller
[commenting in 2004 on Britain`s proposed Racial and Religious Hatred Bill] To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas, ...
