I've played American characters so many times now, it's so natural to me. But when I play American, I stay in the American accent from the minute I get the job till the minute I wrap.

I have spent too long training myself to speak with an American accent, it's ingrained. I spend 16 hours a day on set speaking with an American accent. Now, when I try to speak with an Aussie accent, I just sound like a caricature of myself.

When I'm working in America, I wake up with an American accent and stay with it all day till makeup comes off. I just want everyone to be at ease, and not have the show's creators think, 'Oh my god, he's so English, why did we hire him?'

Whenever I'm in the U.K., people say I have an American accent. Which is, obviously, funny.

I'm completely Americanized - I have an American accent, an American wife - but a residue of me is foreign.

When I speak to people from Britain, that's when I feel like a fake, speaking with an American accent.

An agent once told me that if I would lose my English accent, I would never stop working in America.

Americans always ask how much I love my accent, and I don't get that - I think I sound like a school teacher.

When I'm doing an accent, you shouldn't notice it for a while, if I'm doing it right.
