- Quote (2014): "I was a big fan of the Spice Girls back in the day. I definitely collected every one of those postcards you could buy and I was obsessed with Posh Spice. I literally collected them all and they're still around in my mum's house. No shame! I mean I was 13 and I think the whole world was into the Spice Girls. I'm not sure if I really liked their music so much but the girls themselves are pretty special."

- Hometown: Harrow, London, England
- Quote (2012): "The thing is, I am a loving person. I am super sappy when it comes to romance. But I'm not the Antonio Banderas, swashbuckling, Pierce Brosnan, smooth-talking type. Maybe I'm endearing because I'm persistent? Maybe that's the key. It's all persistence, baby!"

- Quote (2011): "When I was living in New York, I had this slightly wannabe bohemian existence and took up painting, at which I'm appalling. I also bought several guitars. I figured if I was going to live the cliché, I should probably live it all the way."

- Hometown: Hammersmith, London, England
- Quote: "No one's ever made me cry. I've reacted. I've cried at the mercy of women and at the mercy of men. And at the mercy of that movie with Richard Dreyfuss — the one where he plays a high school music teacher. [Mr. Holland's Opus] Yeah. I remember getting caught up in the sentimentality of it. I wept for Mr. Holland."

- Age: 29
- Hometown: London Borough of Camden, England
- Quote (2013): "I don't want to refer to myself as Maximilian. You'd have to win an Oscar or become mind-numbingly wealthy or hit 50. It's like smoking a cigar, you know what I mean? You can't be a young guy and do it."

- Age: 55
- Hometown: Grayshott, England
- Quote (2013): "I'm always fascinated by the notion of ordinariness, or apparent ordinariness. People you could dismiss as ordinary or boring, people whose lives seem to be a series of disappointments."

- Hometown: Wokingham, England

- Age: 28
- Hometown: Leeds, England
- Quote (2013) : "It sounds stupid, but there's nothing like walking down the street and seeing a building that's older than 100 years old. I think London — not to sound pretentious — like New York, it's a big melting pot for all things and it's just got this energy that you can't find anywhere else. So I'm still in my romantic stage with London. I love it as a place."

- Age: 39
- Hometown: Oxford, England
- Quote (2015): "To know you came from a lineage of kings ... it makes you get out of your bed a very different way than if you feel like today is yet another fight. So that is something I carry with me that I know has been of huge benefit as a result of my family and where I'm from."
