I grew up in a working class neighborhood in Sweden, which, during my teens, gentrified and is now completely middle class and even upper middle class.

Joel Kinnaman

I grew up in the suburbs, a calm suburb, without tension, with working-class and middle-class people mixed together.

I think the working-class part of me comes out. Sometimes the people who have the loudest mouths are upper-class, upper-middle-class. The quietest are often working-class people, people who are broke. There is a fear of losing whatever it is that you have. I come from that background.

Billie Joe Armstrong

The working class of England today have no vision of society beyond the acquisitive - no version of themselves or their habits as anything other than transitional, on their way up or on their way out. The working class, at best, is a waiting room for people who aim to become middle class if possible.

I myself am consummately middle class. We grew up in upper-middle-class suburbs in Oklahoma City, and thats very much the same ethos as what Richard Yates and John Cheever wrote about.

Blake Bailey

Look, there is a sort of old view about class which is a very simplistic view that we have got the working class, the middle class and the upper class, I think it is more complicated than that.

Ed Miliband

My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.

Graham Norton

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

In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists.

Whittaker Chambers

Eccentricity is usually owned by middle-class and upper-class people. If you are working class and eccentric, then you're just mad.

Timothy Spall

It`s not just Republicans. It`s Republicans and Democrats. It`s middle class, lower middle class, working class Americans who have felt the angst, who are frustrated, who are angry as a result of 1% growth which, in my view, has been really the issue that has propelled Donald Trump from day one.
