I once worked as a tour guide in the Costa del Sol of Spain.

Harlan Coben

The truth about the Costa del Sol is that what endures, what is worthwhile, is what is Spanish.

David Hewson

Must have been quite the culture shock, going there.” “Yes it was.” Idris doesn’t say that the real culture shock has been in coming back.

Khaled Hosseini

My upbringing was middle-class but my parents' families were both working-class so I had this odd combination of working-class background but in a privileged position.

Denise Mina

I have a little Honda Del Sol that I just refuse to get rid of.

Mark Pellegrino

When I got divorced, it was another culture shock. It was going from this world I had been into since the age of 16 to literally standing on the streets of New York in kind of shock.

Mayte Garcia

Cambridge is thriving and Britain is working. We have been telling people - 'if you value it, vote for it' - and this is particularly relevant in Cambridge.

Anne Campbell

I did not enjoy Cambridge. But I shouldn't blame Cambridge alone. I wasn't ready for university or for the wrench of leaving home. It was a big cultural shock.

Naomie Harris

There's been a kind of inverse snobbery about culture. I get the feeling some people would look at Shakespeare and say, that's a bit too intimidating for working-class people.

Munira Mirza

At Cambridge, there was a completely unintimidating culture, and there were no class divisions among the students.

Elizabeth Blackburn

I came from a very lower-working-class family in Torre del Greco.

Gino D'Acampo

There is quite a lot of mutual misunderstanding between the upper middle class and the working class. Reviewing what's been said about the white working class and the Democrats, I realized that there's even a lot of disagreement about who the working class IS.

Timothy Noah

I don't like to play the macho card, but I grew up in a working-class family and a working-class culture.

Tom Brokaw

Everybody recommended me to Sinatra and Don Costa, because everybody was enjoying my music. I got a big following going on. Nino (Tempo) told Don Costa "you gotta come see this guy." And that's how Don Costa heard about me, through Nino Tempo. Then, Don Costa brought me to the attention of Frank Sinatra and Reprise Records.

Trini Lopez

We turned Cambridge theatre upside down, using odd spaces and devising everything collaboratively. It eventually blew apart, but I'm still proud of some of what we achieved. The style was very disciplined, and we had the sense to keep things short.

David Farr

I spend eight to nine months working abroad and cram in a holiday when I have the odd week off.

Katie Melua
