There's this accent that I think everybody has when they grow up going to an international school. It's a mix of not quite English, not quite American. When I moved to L.A., it just went completely American.

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

I have a strong accent; it limits the roles, of course it does. I guess if I had moved to America a long time ago maybe my accent would have got less.

To be honest, it's easier for me to speak with an American accent.

I enjoy the reaction I get in the U.S.A. when people discover I have an English accent. They don't expect that, and it's kind of a kick.

Americans like the British kind of quirkiness and the strange accent. They find it kind of cute or something, with a certain charm.

Everyone tells me I have a funny accent. It's because I copy people. I learned English at school but have best friends who are French, Australian, English and American; a very weird mix.

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

I think most British people who say they can do an American accent are so bad at it. I find it excruciating. I find it excruciating the other way around, too.

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