American Accent Quotes

When I sing along with Britney Spears I will sing in an American accent. But eventually I found my own voice. My songs are so brutally honest, it would be alien to sing in any accent other than my own. Don't get me wrong - I can imitate singers. I can do bar mitzvahs and weddings.
Ellie Goulding

Wrong, Honest, American

Damian Lewis

God, Him, America

I lived in America for a long time before I started working as an actor. Some actors show up on set and have never done an American accent before, so they rely on a slew of technical mechanisms.

Idris Elba

Time, Long, Done

Robert Pattinson

Radha Mitchell

American, Stand, Started

Poppy Montgomery

Long, Try, Training

Time, Living, American

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.

Kevin McKidd

Home, School, Live

Jennifer Ehle

Work, School, Live

Martin Henderson

Lost, Working, Put
