“I never would have guessed that I would get a job for the way I sound. I would get notes about how I should lose my accent, and part of me thinks, 'How dare you! This is who I am! Millions of people want to sound like me!' But it's sensitive, and I have tried to change it, with little to no success.” PeopleThinkingWayWantShouldLittlesJobsSoundLosesMillionsNotesDareWho I AmLike MeSensitiveAccents Author:Jack McBrayer
“I was trying to find ways of not being pigeon-holed like that. I didn't want to be tied down by my accent. I wanted to play Americans. I don't want to ever be doing the same thing twice, and I just didn't want to repeat myself.” WayWantTryingPlayWantedRepeatsTiedAccentsPigeons Author:Carey Mulligan
“It makes it easier, if you can't do an American accent. I don't know. It's different. I played a character in Never Let Me Go where the script for my character was very sparse, and I enjoyed it. With Never Let Me Go, I had a whole book written from my character's point of view, so I always knew where I was. But, with Ryan [Gosling], it was just easy. He's such a brilliant actor and he is so prepared. He doesn't have to warm himself up to be in a scene. He's just in it. It draws you in, in a way.” IfsKnowsWayBookDifferentWholeCharacterActorsEasyViewsWrittenEasierSceneDrawsLet MePreparedScriptsWarmPoint Of ViewBrilliantEnjoyedAccentsLet Me GoNever Let Me Go Author:Carey Mulligan
“I was always amazed the way people would come in looking one way and transform completely to the point where I couldn't recognize their language, their accent, the way they looked, their hair, their face even changed becoming so inside of the character.” PeopleWayCharacterFacesLanguageChangedHairBecomingOne WayAccentsAmazed Author:Alicia Keys
