I shouldn't be saying this - high treason, really - but I sometimes wonder if Americans aren't fooled by our accent into detecting brilliance that may not really be there.

I think most British people who say they can do an American accent are so bad at it. I find it excruciating. I find it excruciating the other way around, too.
Don't let the American accent fool you. I am British.
There is a marvelous turn and trick to British arrogance; its apparent unconsciousness makes it twice as effectual.
I don't understand why the accent you speak in has to indicate what level of intellect you have.
Americans always ask how much I love my accent, and I don't get that - I think I sound like a school teacher.
In every American there is an air of incorrigible innocence, which seems to conceal a diabolical cunning.
When I'm doing an accent, you shouldn't notice it for a while, if I'm doing it right.
I'm one of those idiots; when I'm working in America, I wake up with an American accent and stay with it all day till make-up comes off.
American politicians who dwell on American exceptionalism only dishonor us by suggesting we play dumb to our past.
It's actually reassuring to see people struggling to do our accent instead of us constantly trying to emulate British or American accents, which we are always asked to do.
