I'm from Norway, but I always felt like I'd grown up with British culture. We had everything from the BBC on our TV, so British drama seems very close to home.

Morten Tyldum

I remember sitting in front of the British Museum and having a moment - an epiphany, I guess - that I just had to live here. And now that I have grown to understand the British sense of humour here, I love the culture, too.

Sarah Goldberg

In England we burnt redheads at the stake, because we thought they were witches. There are still young redheads in Britain getting ripped for having red hair. 'Oy, Ginger!'

Damian Lewis

I'm from Norway, but I always felt like I'd grown up with British culture.

Morten Tyldum

I was teased up until high school about my hair, being short, my high pitched voice, and just anything you can think of.

Chrissie Fit

As a child, I grew up the son of German immigrant parents, so I grew up being teased and called 'Fritz' at school. When I married my wife and went to live in Vienna, I was teased for being a Brit.

Peter Morgan

I was pretty much grown-up by the time I attended school in Britain - or as grown-up as I'll ever get.

Walter Jon Williams

I get hit on so much it's not normal. I didn't realize so many men liked redheads.

Alex Breckenridge

The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, were automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture.

Nelson Mandela

I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.

Florence Griffith Joyner

I'd love to go back to Broadway; I'd love to do animation; I'd love to do hair and make-up campaigns because I love hair and makeup - and, I'd love to do film. I mean, there are a lot of doors I'd love to open up!

Brooke Elliott

Gingers get a bad rep. They get teased at school. So we should feel sorry for them.

Sam Heughan

Jeremy used to hate it when she was younger because someone in her class told her redheads were freaks of nature.But our mother told her that redheads were genetically more courageous than other people and that she should always where her hair long,like a wariors badge of honor.

Ellen Potter

As a teenager, I was teased at school about my height and long legs, but now they are my best assets. Kids can be mean. When I was at school, I considered myself ugly, but that was when I was silly enough to believe that what other people thought mattered. Now I think I am pretty. I'm not beautiful. There is a difference.

Jasmine Guinness

I, on the other hand, still might not be considered a proper adult. I had been very grown-up in primary school. But as I continued through secondary school, I in fact became less grown-up. And then as the years passed, I turned into quite a childlike person. I suppose I just wasn't able to ally myself with time.
