I really like Katy Perry and the music she does. She's an amazing musician and it's an honour to be opening for her in London.

I think Clive Owen could do CSI London in a heartbeat,

I'm an eighteenth-century girl at heart. I wouldn't mind being set down in London in 1715, in the midst of all the drama of the Hanoverian succession.

There's all this stuff that is happening in Edinburgh now, it's a sad attempt to create an Edinburgh society, similar to a London society, a highbrow literature celebrity society.

There are too many things to count that I like about London.

I love London - it has so much energy.

We say that London is open for business. If we don't do that, then the terrorists will have won and that's not what we want,

The bread I eat in London, is a deleterious paste, mixed up with chalk, alum, and bone ashes: insipid to the taste, and destructive to the constitution.

London is a very energising place to be.

As to London we must console ourselves with the thought that if life outside is less poetic than it was in the days of old, inwardly its poetry is much deeper.
