We've always been slammed by most of the British press. They probably hate us because we're too normal and incredibly honest.

Curt Smith

The poor Oscars - they always get slammed in the press.

Helen Mirren

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.

Melanie Chisholm

I've tried to tell people that the reason I don't really get excited over good press is that I don't want to get agitated over bad press. I don't wanna get too high on good press, too low on bad press. It's just not a healthy way to engage with my own feelings about my music.

DJ Shadow

I've had much nastier things said about me in the British press than in the Bosnian press.

Paddy Ashdown

The press always pick on British fashion, but I don't think that there are more successful young designers than in Paris or Milan. It's all a myth.

Louise Wilson

Press freedom does not mean that the press should be above the law. While it's vital that a free press can tell truth to power, it is equally important that those in power can tell truth to the press.

David Cameron

If you sit down with British officers or British senior NCOs, they understand the sweep of history. They know the history of British forces not just in Afghanistan but the history of British successful counter-insurgencies - Northern Ireland, Malaysia.

Stanley A. McChrystal

The British press hate a winner who's British. They don't like any British man to have balls as big as a cow's like I have.

Nigel Benn

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

John Major

I used to get great press. I get the worst press. I get such dishonest reporting with the media. I've never had anything like it before. It happened during the primaries, and I said, you know, when I won, I said, "Well the one thing good is now I'll get good press." And it got worse. So that was one thing that a little bit of a surprise to me. I thought the press would become better, and it actually, in my opinion, got more nasty.

Donald Trump

I am in the habit, like most British people, of holding the door open for people. But in the U.S., people don't understand it. You get odd looks or doors slammed in your face.

Raza Jaffrey

I used to think that the British press were particularly awful to Cherie Blair. I think Blair's foreign policy was a complete disaster, but the British press, when they wanted to explain why Blair took unexpected moves, they did create Cherie as the power behind the throne.

Mary Beard

Were you to read the British press today, you would learn that the British Empire never forgets its defeats.

Robert Trout

My husband is leaving me. No dramas, no slammed doors - well, OK, a few slammed doors - and no suitcase in the hall, but there is another woman involved. Her name is Dementia.

Laurie Graham

You have the burning desire as a successful sportsperson and that needs to go somewhere when you finish. It is a problem so many people have when their careers end and I was no different.
