The Archbishop of York - The Sunday Times Literary Festival: "But paradoxically, though the English might quite like the description of being self-made, and might in fact privately think they'd done a pretty good job, they would be the last to say so publicly. They would be much more likely to say – 'Well, I may be self-made, but I've made a bit of a botch of it, as you can see.' For alongside the arrogance which many people see in the English, there is also a much stronger characteristic of self-deprecation."
