51

52

Sarah Harding
72
When I was five, my uncle bought us a tape recorder and my dad tried to record us kids talking and singing, stuff like that. There’s really quite a lot of me in a really Welsh accent going, ‘Can I tell a joke? Can I sing a song?’ – really annoying and brattish.

Arlo Parks
93
I think if you set yourself specific goals, that’s quite a lot of pressure.

Hayley Williams
97
Of all the writers I have read, Vladimir Nabokov has made the biggest impression on me because he, despite living through the 1917 February Revolution, forced exile amidst the anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, the two World Wars and quite a lot of controversy, was an author who never gave up.

98
I used to be a really great dancer. I used to do it quite a lot and then I stopped. Now my body has forgotten all that training.

I’m not a massive fan of 3D. I’ve seen some good 3D, and I’ve seen quite a lot of bad 3D. I think if a film is created for the shock effect of 3D, then it’s a certain type of film that I’m not massively bothered about.

105

With the Echoes tour there was quite a lot of people who came to the shows that were attracted by the music and the sentiment on the album.

Jack Monroe
108
I get ‘female Kendrick’ quite a lot. I’m definitely not complaining. At the same time, I want to be the female Simz. I just want to be me.
Little Simz
109
I tend to bristle at people praising alt comics as some kind of perfect comics paradigm, because there’s quite a lot of misogyny in its history as well. Like, in my first comics class, every single great comic creator we studied was male.

I have to watch quite a lot of films for work and I really enjoy going to the cinema and watching someone’s creative work.

Sean Lock
112
When I was in grade five or six, I just remember quite a lot of people were always talking about me like I was some kind of math genius. And there were just so many moments when I realized, like, okay, why can’t I just be like some normal person and go have a 75% average like everyone else.

113
In my solo work on my own albums, I have used voice synthesizers and vocoders quite a lot in connection with orchestral instruments.

P. L. Travers
115

Robert Winston
116
I do quite a lot of flying in my concerts.
Sarah Brightman
117
I have quite a lot of plastic sunglasses. It’s just a nice accessory, it adds a final thing, and it’s my favorite way of figuring an outfit.

118
It’s something that has informed quite a lot of my comedy – that idea of someone who is always trying to get in there with the right crowd, always trying to be a certain type of person and never managing it.
Jack Dee
119
The weird thing is I have now met quite a lot of people who are really famous but they are always disappointingly normal and nice. Alan Carr is very nice indeed. Exactly how you would expect him to be, and not that different from how he is on stage.
Josh Widdicombe
120
Often, with our music, there’s quite a lot going on, so people hear melodies that sound up and catchy, and production, and maybe don’t really listen to what the songs are about, so it’s nice to sing a song like ‘The Currents’ and really mean it.

Daniel James
126
Humans have continued to evolve quite a lot over the past ten thousand years, and certainly over 100 thousand. Sure, our biology affects our behavior.

Annalee Newitz
127
I have quite a lot of anxiety dreams.
Keeley Hawes
128

Lucy Lawless
129

134
There was quite a lot of lying around in fields at Stonar, a small independent girls’ school in the country near Bath. It was a non-selective school and the right environment for me: academically not particularly pushy.
Romola Garai
135
I wrote a song for Icona Pop which boosted my confidence quite a lot.
Charli XCX
136

Marie Helvin
139
Sculpture is like farming. If you just keep at it, you can get quite a lot done.
Ruth Asawa
140

Ben Stokes
141
In a way, I’m always working with Mick Jones. I feel like he’s watching over me all the time. We talk about everything: history quite a lot. Balloons and wars and old football players. The Clash.
Pete Doherty
142
I had a great grandmother who believed in so many strange superstitions. She used to tell the future from the things that catch on to the hem of your skirt when you’ve been sewing, and different colored threads would mean different things… Of course, all that influenced me quite a lot as a child.
Joanne Harris
143

144
I find my vocabulary is quite a lot better when I’m hungover. I feel like I unlock a key of words that I don’t usually use in day-to-day life.
Ella Eyre
145
I thought of the idea of Summly in March or April 2011. I was 15 years old and I was revising for some kind of history exam. The problem was I was trying to find information that was useful to me. When you type into Google an esoteric term, you get quite a lot of stuff that’s not relevant.
Nick D’Aloisio
146
My mum and dad are both really funny. My granddad’s really funny. My uncle’s really funny. Everyone’s really funny. You have to be quick; otherwise, you get roasted. Everyone takes the piss quite a lot. You have to be really sharp.
Noel Fielding
147
‘Bradshaw’s’ is a lovely device for the time-travelling television presenter. I just hope that people buying it aren’t doing so with the intention of plotting a tour of 21st-century Europe. They’ll find quite a lot has changed since 1913.
Michael Portillo
148
I believe if we and the Mexicans make a very sensible trade agreement, the Mexican peso will recover quite a lot.
Wilbur Ross
149
I’ve been fortunate with my acting career. A lot of scripts come to me. I don’t mind auditioning if something that requires that, but I haven’t had to in awhile, which is a nice place to be ’cause I’ve been on quite a lot of auditions in my life.
Mos Def
150
I didn’t want to be thirtysomething and not know what I was going to do. I was quite afraid of that, there were quite a lot of aimless kids around, in that ‘other’ side of my life, who didn’t really know what to do because they always had a bank balance to fall back on and they were quite lost.
Stella McCartney
151

Max Richter
154
I feel like I’ve grown up on screen quite a lot.
Jack O’Connell
155
I always hoped I’d end up playing a lot cooler roles. I do end up playing quite a lot of idiot savants, and I’ve actually started to revel in that slightly.
Kris Marshall
156
I write quite a lot of sonnets, and I think of them almost as prayers: short and memorable, something you can recite.
Carol Ann Duffy
157
I like Baudelaire’s sentences quite a lot. I read and re-read him very often.
Rachel Kushner
158
I don’t go around saturated in guilt or anything like that. I do worry about things quite a lot, but I don’t feel as though I am a bad person.
Louis Theroux
159
I think the sixties must have been quite a lot of fun.
Tama Janowitz

I was always fascinated by politics, and I was exposed to it quite a lot.
J. B. Pritzker
164
In acting, quite a lot of the time you’re not the first choice. Usually, you’re second or third. And it can turn out to be the best thing that ever happened. You get used to that.
Sylvester McCoy
165
I used to think about how I was conceived quite a lot when I was about 10 or 11, but I don’t think about it at all now that so many other babies have been born in the same way.
Louise Brown
166
I have quite a lot of fans in Holland because that is where my mother is from, in fact I have a fan club there, and the fans don’t always get the chance to see us drive the cars because getting to races across Europe isn’t always possible for them.
Nelson Piquet
167
I’ve played a lot of very posh, sort of noble or aristocratic English people, which is nothing like what I am, so I feel that there is quite a lot distance there and have played a little bit far away from myself.
James McAvoy
168
If you keep telling girls they’re less good at science, that will probably be self-fulfilling. But there are quite a lot of women who are good at it.

172
3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies; for live-action movies we’re just taking baby steps, we’re just in the beginning.

James McAvoy
174
Picking on people is not my sort of humour, but I think there’s quite a lot of it around. We’re slowly turning into a nation of bullies; manners have gone out of the window.
Vic Reeves
175
I change my mind quite a lot about things, which isn’t always a good thing.
Little Simz
176
You have to have hope. It’s irresponsible to give false hope, which I think a lot of playwrights are guilty of. But I also think it’s irresponsible to simply be a nihilist, which quite a lot of playwrights, especially playwrights younger than me, have become guilty of.
Tony Kushner
177
Trying to entertain was something I always got a kick from. It excited me quite a lot. Growing up, it was a hobby, always something I did with friends – we’d put on shows.
Finn Cole
178
I love Twitter; I’m on Twitter quite a lot.
