I'm not the least bit polished, I come from a blue collar background and I never thought I could feel comfortable around the English.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of people don't think I'm English. I've lived in France, and people do think I'm French, but I don't see myself as having a glamorous look.
I like to be comfortable, but I do enjoy being a British gent and dressing up a bit.
I go out with a lot of British people. Some of them say I sound a little tipsy.
I just wear what I like, and lots of it is British.
I'm intimidated by anyone with a British accent.
Weirdly, when I'm playing an English person, I feel like I've got nothing to hang on to, and it feels a bit strange and exposing.
I'm not foreign enough to play foreigners... I have sort of a mid-Atlantic British accent that puts me in the middle of everything, so they don't know quite where to put me.
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.
I always wonder whether I'll get treated differently with a different accent.
I've always felt very English.
