I'm different. I don't speak perfect American. I do have a lilt of an Indian accent. I thought, 'Maybe the world's not okay with what I bring, being Indian.'

I grew up in a lot of different places, so I pick up accents pretty quickly.

I can do accents really well.

I do accents. Sometimes when I've had a few drinks, I speak in different accents all night long, and then at the end of an evening someone will say to me, 'Seriously, where are you from?'

I have a dialect myself; it's more pronounced, because I have studied theatre and been in England. It's half-British, half-Indian.

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

In my normal life, I do not speak with an accent. It's harder for people to realize my hearing loss in everyday life.

How come foreign accents are so sexy? If I say, 'I'm going to the store,' it sounds boring, benign and rudimentary. But if it's said with an accent, it sounds fundamentally cool.

My accent depends on whom I'm around.
