I'm not a blokey bloke. I don't take myself too seriously. But that doesn't stop me being a bad person sometimes and doing things I regret. Such as having a child with someone you've split up with, then falling in love and wanting to spend the rest of your life with someone else. That's quite difficult.

Welsh Actor

Vincent Kompany

When I read or study, I don't do it for the degree - if I fail, it doesn't matter, but it just takes me out of this world where you're the centre of attention all the time. You just become a normal bloke when you're setting yourself those kinds of targets.

Belgian Athlete

Melvyn Bragg

I don't go around thinking I'm attractive or not attractive. It has never occurred to me. People don't think like that where I come from... No one has ever said, 'Oh, he's a good-looking bloke.' They just didn't use those words about men.

English Journalist

Tommy Cooper

A blind bloke walks into a shop with a guide dog. He picks the Dog up and starts swinging it around his head. Alarmed, a shop assistant calls out: 'Can I help, sir?' 'No thanks,' says the blind bloke. 'Just looking.

British Comedian

Daisy May Cooper

I'm difficult to cast. In comedy, if there's a female character, usually written by a bloke, she's either the ditsy good-looking one, or the sexually aggressive one. I never fit into those.

English Actress

Vicky McClure

Yes, I certainly look for strong characters - whether that means they're strong in their vulnerability or strong in the way they might be attractive to lots of blokes.

Johnny Vegas

You always hear people saying, 'I hope I'm not turning into my dad', but I'd be honoured if I became half as decent a bloke as he is.

Robert Whittaker

I'm a very objective-driven bloke, so to have a goal in mind and to have something to do is very important to me.

Australian Athlete

Matthew Nable

I've worked really physically hard, and I was never afraid of working hard as younger bloke.

Australian Actor

Jimmy Barnes

It's a real bloke thing, not talking to people because it's not manly to get help.

Scottish Musician

Affectionate Tone

Not for formal situations; replace with 'gentleman' or 'man' in business or formal writing.
