I mean, look at Adele. She sings and she's not posh, posh, posh. But she's absolutely amazing. She's smashing it. She's global. I just think why change yourself? I'm going to stay as me.

Megan McKenna

Cricket was deemed too posh where I came from, and I'd never have risked walking home through the estates in my whites. My club played some of the posh schools. I'd have the cheapest kit, but I loved those games. As soon as the posh lads opened their mouths and you heard their accents, the stakes were raised.

Andrew Flintoff

Musicians like to converse. There's always interesting conversation with musicians - with classical musicians, with jazz musicians, musicians in general.

Wynton Marsalis

I never know what defines you as being posh. I went to a posh school, definitely.

Jack Whitehall

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

Damian Lewis

I was teased at school for having a posh voice even though there was nothing posh about us.

Alexander Armstrong

I didn't know we'd been tagged as posh. I went to a state school in London, so maybe people think I have a posh voice and that's where it comes from?

Grace Chatto

I worry I look posh and fat. I can't do anything about posh - I'm accentless - but I've spent 20 years battling my weight.

Karren Brady

I don't think old posh is as intimidating as new posh, is it?

Bob Mortimer

I do want people to think of me as an actor, not just a posh actor who does posh parts.

Freddie Fox

That's the way I like my posh people, up front. I like the fact that Jack Whitehall will talk about being posh, or David Mitchell.

Frank Skinner

At Trinity College there was a coterie of the poshest of the posh, people you didn't ever see, they were so posh. They went to each other's rooms and, at weekends, each other's estates. I preferred to be with the weirdo bunch of raggle-taggle thesps.

Mel Giedroyc

When I first left drama school, I was too posh for the working-class parts and not posh enough for the upper-class roles. You know what England is like: the gradations of accent and how you're judged by them are still there. I discovered that to get a break you have to lie about where you're from.

Ben Chaplin

I've been misconstrued because I speak in a certain way. I find it obnoxious how it defines you, somehow limits your ability to understand the human condition. You can't be allowed near emotions; you play these curling-lipped, haughty characters. This awful label - 'the posh Toby Stephens' - I'm not posh!

Toby Stephens

I come from a very working-class background, so my family would have been downstairs in the past, as opposed to upstairs. People are often quite surprised to hear that, that I'm not actually posh.

Michelle Dockery

For instance, members of the elite will never allow their children to become musicians normally, because it's - not embarrassing - but it's not done. There's a very famous composer from the '70s from a well-known family that disowned him, and he's a man, so there's this historical precedence with their relationships with musicians - not so much music as it's this abstract thing - but externally with artists.
