Culture Quote by Jamie Demetriou
“There's a big culture I think that kicked off with reality TV and the Brit-pop '90s in the U.K. of people being like, 'I speak my mind!' Like, 'I say, anything that pops into my head. I just say it because I'm real!' And I'm very much of the opinion that you mustn't. You mustn't behave like that.”
