I would quite like to do a different accent or play something so different from myself because Olivia, the character I play in this film, is similar to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The odd thing is if you asked me to do the accent now I would find it very difficult unless I was also playing that part, because I associate it so much with entering into the role and stepping into someone else's shoes.
I love playing characters with different accents. It's a lot of fun.
I did use my own accent in a play once. It's a very freeing, liberating experience. Actors are often asked to adopt a different accent, and sometimes a different voice, so when that's taken away and you don't have to think about it, that's a lovely thing.
I know there are some actors who won't switch their accents off when they're on set and like to be called by their character's names. That works for them, and that's great.
I can't do an accent unless I'm on the set. I forget how to do it until I'm on the set.
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 love accents. It's a great way to separate yourself when playing a role.
I would love to play a British character one day. My accent wavers between Scottish and Irish very easily, though.
Work on the accent, it will enliven the whole.
I'm in four different films this year, and I have four different accents. I sound different in every film. You have to love a character to play it well, and change in my work is what I want.
