I remember, the first time I came to the United States in 1996, I didn't speak a word of English at the beginning. I am very thankful for this country and the opportunity music has given me... My three kids were born here in Miami; they speak Spanish at home, but English with all their friends.

I love English. I learned it from the speeches of Winston Churchill.

My opinion is that more languages you speak, better it is, but when you come to America, you speak English.

Dialect was my biggest fear. So, I spent a long time working with dialect coaches just trying to get American down. I think it's very important and very easy to misinterpret.

Americans are people who prefer the Continent to their own country, but refuse to learn its languages.

I love English, though I now call it 'Anglo- American' because we no longer speak British English due to globalization and America's economic power.

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

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.

It always trips me out that America, the most powerful and magnificent nation in the history of the world, whose might was built by immigrants from all over the world, only speaks one language.

Americans don't care what your language is, your race is, whatever. Everyone is there to do their own thing and be successful. I wish people in Britain would be more positive.
