A lot of the time, the British press make me ashamed and embarrassed to be British. They give others the impression that the British are selfish, envious and bitter people, which is simply not true in my opinion. I think that British people in general are really nice and friendly.

Geoffrey Wheatcroft

I think now you see a lot more British films from the perspective of, I guess what would be considered "new" British people - people of color, Asian people.

Noel Clarke
