Dinesh D'Souza quote: "I'm completely Americanized - I have an American accent, an..."
I'm completely Americanized - I have an American accent, an American wife - but a residue of me is foreign. Dinesh D'Souza
The accent got lost somewhere along the way. I'm a little embarrassed about it. When I arrived in LA I assumed I'd be able to put on the American accent. It proved difficult so I had six months working with a dialect coach and it's become a habit. Martin Henderson
I had a dialect coach to get an American accent, and then another dialect coach to come off it a bit. There is something deep and mysterious in the voice when it isn't too high-pitched American. Archie Panjabi

Radha Mitchell quote: "To be honest, it's easier for me to speak with an American..."
To be honest, it's easier for me to speak with an American accent. Radha Mitchell
Usually, certainly British singers, adopt an American accent when they sing and I think that usually people are thinking of somebody else, but I just think of very specific people. Jane Horrocks
When I'm working in America, I wake up with an American accent and stay with it all day till makeup comes off. I just want everyone to be at ease, and not have the show's creators think, 'Oh my god, he's so English, why did we hire him?' Damian Lewis
I think it's sort of a rite of passage for a British actor to try and get the American accent and have a good crack at doing that. Orlando Bloom
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. Eileen Atkins
Americans like the British kind of quirkiness and the strange accent. They find it kind of cute or something, with a certain charm. Nick Park
The word was out that maybe, just maybe, a British accent would fit. The hair, the skin tone and the bridgework would have to be up to American network standards, but there had been a lot of British accents up there thanking their mothers for their Oscars, a lot of British accents singing on Broadway, and some unusually big audiences tuning in to British accents in wig on Masterpiece Theatre. Douglas Adams
I do believe that there are African Americans who have thick accents. My mom has a thick accent; my relatives have thick accents. But sometimes you have to adjust when you go into the world of film, TV, theatre, in order to make it accessible to people. Viola Davis
I live in L.A. so I worry my kids aren't that connected to Britain, I suppose I don't want them to become American kids. We try to get back three or four times a year. When they go to school they speak with a British-American accent but when they come home to us they go back to their British accent. Kevin McKidd
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. Stephen Fry
