On my best day, I cannot do Scottish people. I don't even believe that's a real accent, to be honest with you. I think they probably sound like us when they're in the house. It's how they keep people away from them.
Bilingualism used to have an undeservedly bad reputation; then it got an undeservedly exalted one.
I didn't always value the ways black people talked. I thought, in order to make art out of it, you had to change it.
People are always saying, English, English, English rose, and I just feel so completely different.
I don't understand why the accent you speak in has to indicate what level of intellect you have.
Dutch is not so much a language as an ailment of the throat.
I know Asian actors out there won't even audition for a role that have an accent. But for me, I was the kid with an accent. I still have an accent to some degree.
People with accents exist and just because they have an accent doesn't mean they're less intelligent or what-have-you.
I knew no one in New York City was going to hire me if I had a southern accent.
Just because I don't speak English with an accent anymore doesn't mean that I'm better than the people who do.
I see comments occasionally about the way I speak but it goes straight over my head. You speak the way you speak and it is a silly thing to judge someone on.
