What Famous People Have to Say About The Taxi Industry

What Famous People Have to Say About The Taxi Industry

For some unknown reason taxi drivers, taxicabs and the subject of city travel in general is a great topic for discussion, with famous people in particular obsessive over making comments and creating analogies on the subject. Take a look at some of the bizarre and wonderful comments that have been made in the past that thoroughly amused us at High Gear Insurance. David Walliams

'I don't have a lot to share with other men. My heart sinks when I get into a taxi and someone starts talking to me about football.'
Gwyneth Paltrow
'Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends.'
Morgan Freeman
'Was I always going to be here? No I was not. I was going to be homeless at one time, a taxi driver, truck driver, or any kind of job that would get me a crust of bread. You never know what's going to happen.'
Jodie Foster
'With 'Taxi Driver,' I had this eureka moment. I realized that acting could be much more than what I had been doing. I had to build a character that wasn't me.'
