Everyone thinks England and America are the same, as we have the same language, but I felt like an alien as an English person living in America.

I'm definitely an American, because I grew up here. But I've lived very happily in Britain.

When I go home to England, my friends all make fun of me for sounding American.

Only when I came to America did I think of myself as British.

I think Brits probably feel that Americans are more like us than vice-versa, if that makes sense. Because we get everything American over here in Britain, but yet there are things which are staunchly English that you guys don't have.

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

British people are surprised that I'm British!

I am not an American; I am the American.

America has had an influence on me, as has going out with a Cuban-American guy and having lots of American friends. But I am still fundamentally British and speak with a British accent and feel very English.

I'm an American first, and I think that's how most people are.
