Personally, just as an actor, I love accents; they're fun.

Accents can be a great tool to tell a story - but if you do it wrong, it pulls you right out of the movie.

I have a funny accent in every language.

Accents are always difficult in their way, but as long as you're not throwing an audience off with it, then that's all it should be.

I think when you have to train an accent, it just takes you absolutely into another spectrum of the character.

In the end, to do a good accent, you just have to be a good listener.

I love accents. It's a great way to separate yourself when playing a role.

The thing with being able to do accents is that it's still completely separate from being an actor.

Now the point of comedy is not just looking funny, it's use of language. We have at our disposal a great language... and the imaginative, creative use of that language can be at the service of humour.

I'm in four different films this year, and I have four different accents. I sound different in every film. You have to love a character to play it well, and change in my work is what I want.
