I began thinking there should be an American phrase book, 'cause I've got an Italian phrase book, and an Arabic one... now a British one. I think it'd be pretty good to have an American phrase book.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I definitely wish to distinguish American poetry from British or other English language poetry.
Catchphrases flourish in contemporary American English.
The best book, like the best speech, will do it all - make us laugh, think, cry and cheer - preferably in that order.
Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.
I've always been crazy for the American songbook.
The American version of 'The Office' is fantastic.
The more I know about America, the better I'll be at performing American characters and American stories.
When I'm in the U.K. I find myself using a lot of Britishisms.
My early novels were very understated and English. Fourteen years ago, I met and married my American husband, and as I learned more about his background and culture, I became interested in using American voices.
My book collection is primarily in America, since that's where I've lived most of my life.
