I had a Southern accent but I had broken it so hard.

I think anything sounds good with a Southern accent.

I started out in New York, and New York has a way of countering a Southern accent, naturally; when I moved to Los Angeles for a job, and I just stayed, the dialect out here doesn't really counter, and my Southern started coming back.

The great thing about not being American is that you don't assume you know what a Southern accent sounds like, so you have to be specific.

They seem to be charmed by my Southern accent.

Tell me the truth - do you think I've lost my Southern accent? I feel it comes back to me only when I'm shouting at fights or at baseball games.

I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage where I come from.

A Southern accent is not a club in my bag.

I'm a Southerner.
