I think English is a fantastic, rich and musical language, but of course your mother tongue is the most important for an actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Personally, just as an actor, I love accents; they're fun.
The thing with being able to do accents is that it's still completely separate from being an actor.
Growing up in a family of actors, what's great about it is that they're very supportive and they understand what it's like to be an actor - the rejections, the highs and lows... and having a common language with them is great because you have shorthand speech.
I think there's a quality of passion to the American actor. I'm certainly attracted to it, and I like to hope that underscoring it is a characteristic of my work. That quality is certainly also present in some British actors, but I tend to feel the mechanical and intellectual process is dominant in the British.
I really like acting in English.
The thing I love about being an actor is the ability to travel and experience new cultures.
I grew up speaking both languages, and for me that's really important.
American actors who voice animated movies are so brilliant at it, because by the nature of American speak, it's full of energy and full of commitment. And as a British actor, we have to kind of learn that.
I used to do a lot of plays in English, Hindi, and Urdu. I wanted to be an actor since I was three and a half.
I have been an actor now for 40 years having worked in over 10 countries and three languages.
