But I just know from experience that accent wise, even if you're an accent genius, crossing the Atlantic is the hardest thing in the world either way.

To be honest, it's easier for me to speak with an American accent.
I knew that if I wanted to be all I could be, I would have to go to the U.S. It took three years to get the accent right.
I actually always try to not do a general American accent. I always try to give a region.
When I first came to the States, I thought I had a perfect American accent, and then I was abruptly becoming aware that it wasn't. So I did have to work on it a little bit, but I was hesitant working on it because I thought it was good.
I grew up in a lot of different places, so I pick up accents pretty quickly.
I think when you have to train an accent, it just takes you absolutely into another spectrum of the character.
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.
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.
Trouble is, some accents lend themselves to comedy.
I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
