I believe you learn social skills by mixing with people.

Prior to going to college, I had a pretty strong accent, and that was one of the things I had to work on a lot. I went to North Carolina School of the Arts; my speech teacher... that was one of the things we really had to work on over the years, and thankfully I think it finally worked.

I was trying to figure out how to use the skills I had developed in the world of social change.

I like doing accents and I like learning as much as I can learn.

I learned to read and write and socialize in school, and that's pretty much it.

Everyone learns how to talk by doing an impression of their parents. I'm one of many people who has a highly developed ability to do that.

When I was younger, I just liked the sound of different accents, and I used to just play around to see if I could do things. I hear accents like music, so that's what helps me to learn them.

To be honest, accents are one of those things for me, personally, that usually come quite naturally by just listening to the people.

I learned by watching my favorite shows. I would just rewind and say the words back, until they sounded right to me. I never studied the American accent, in terms of getting a teacher or taking phonetics classes. I've always been a good mimic. It really wasn't that hard for me.

I can do accents really well.
