When my grandfather died I started adopting some of his accents to sort of remind myself of him. A homage. He was a war hero and he was really great with his hands.

I had a vocal coach. It's a sad thing but I had to hire someone so that I could get my Australian accent back.

I'm a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative.

Accent your positive and delete your negative.

Delete the negative accentuate the positive!

The very winds whispered in soothing accents and maternal Nature bade me weep no more.

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.

I think that's what's great about being an actress is you get to learn so many different things like that like learning a little bit of Tibetan here learning a Southern accent there.

I like doing accents and I like learning as much as I can learn.

It has to be a very specific role for me because of my accent. I can't complain I've been working since I got to LA. But it is hard. I have no training as an actress so I try whatever I do like school because I'm learning.
