To be honest, accents are one of those things for me, personally, that usually come quite naturally by just listening to the people.

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

Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.

I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for me.

I love accents, I love listening to people talk, I like to try to emulate it as accurately as I can.

Language is an inadequate form of communication. If you've picked up an instrument, it's because you don't feel you are communicating sufficiently.

Music controls moods and accents life's moments. It's necessary for every situation.

I've got my own style on the guitar, sure, and I play rhythm in a certain way, and I use certain inflections. People have said that to me, and I understand it.

I feel that I speak the musical language.

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