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

I think mine's such a mish-mash now: I get criticised for sounding like a Yank when I come home, and everybody thinks I'm Australian when I'm in America.

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

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

I go out with a lot of British people. Some of them say I sound a little tipsy.

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.

America has had an influence on me, as has going out with a Cuban-American guy and having lots of American friends. But I am still fundamentally British and speak with a British accent and feel very English.

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 always ask how much I love my accent, and I don't get that - I think I sound like a school teacher.
