“I'm obsessed with how people talk! Accents, dialects... So whenever I go someplace where an accent is extremely distinct - Minneapolis, New Orleans, Jamaica, Vancouver - I always find myself trying to pick up the subtleties of their patterns.”

“I didn't grow up feeling very handsome.”

“I toned down my accent at school; otherwise, people would pick on me.”

“Sometimes I'll go into a shop and speak in a different accent to see if I can pull it off. But then somebody will be like, 'Where did you say you were from again...?' And then I panic, and my accent dissolves, and I pretend like I wasn't doing it in the first place.”

“I was always told at school I was posh, then I came to London, and here I'm told I have a country accent.”
