More perhaps than any war for centuries, the conflict that ended sixty years ago had for us in Britain the clear character of a moral struggle.

It is fair to say that in the past London and Britain as a whole have been seen as a convenient place to operate international support networks.

Poles finished communism, and Great Britain profited significantly from this.

Britain produces great actors because they learn on stage so know their stuff when they get on a movie set.

'Phantom of the Opera' started in my little 100-seater converted church in Britain with a stage where we did what we did. But it was the score itself was what made it.

Great Britain had a much different situation than we do and did here in the United States, in that they had literally thousands of infected animals with human health risks. Their infectivity in this disease happened before very much was known about it.

Britain can sometimes feel like a very small village, and you're this, I dunno, scarlet woman they're all gossiping about.

Britain has come on tenfold, but to be selfish about it we're all Scottish at the moment. It's about us. We'll go back to the British thing in a bit, but for the moment we've got to take all the praise and all the success for Scotland until we go back to competing for Britain because we don't get to compete for Scotland very often. We want to make the most of it, so I'm not having any of the limelight taken away by Britain at the moment, to be honest.

In 'The Hobbit,' there were British, Irish, Australian and New Zealand actors, and Peter Jackson was adamant that we would all sound like we were from Britain somewhere.

Britain is a state of mind. Well, at least in Idaho.
