I find British men very gentlemanly... like opening doors. There is a certain chivalry about British men which I like, and I'm a sucker for an accent.

Rachel McAdams

I don't know if quirkiness is kind. I don't know if quirkiness is mean. I don't know if quirkiness has emotion. It's just a way of being.

Martellus Bennett

I love Audrey Hepburn; I love those silhouettes and T-length skirts and stuff. They're just very classy. I like to mix that look with quirkiness, kind of like how Katy Perry has that quirkiness.

Megan Nicole

There is a certain advantage to the British accent. I do notice that Americans love it; they think the we Brits are smarter than perhaps we are.

Piers Morgan

What you find with singers, no matter where they're from, if they have any kind of an accent, the accent tends to disappear when they sing.

Jason Alexander

You know what? I'm really attracted to British women, there's something innately proper about them. However badly they behave their accent is so cute that it makes up for everything!

Josh Hartnett

My accent has changed my whole life. When I was younger, it was very Nigerian, then when we went to England, it was very British. I think I have a very strange, hybrid accent, and I've worked very hard to get a solid American accent, which is what I use most of the time.

Toks Olagundoye

I like songs that have like a little bit of quirkiness to them. What I like to do with songs, is kind of throw a little curveball in the lyrics or in the arrangement, to kind of give it a little twist to it.

John Legend

The British and American literary worlds operate in an odd kind of symbiosis: our critics think our contemporary novelists are not the stuff of greatness whereas certain contemporary Americans indubitably are. Their critics often advance the exact opposite: British fiction is cool, American naff.

Will Self

I think Americans still can't help but respond to the natural authority of this voice. Deep down they long to be told what to do by a British accent. That's why so many infomercials have British people.

John Oliver

I've always liked historic jewellery that's got a kind of quirkiness or playfulness to it; I like that it's not too serious.

Giles Deacon

There's always a certain kind of homework you have to do when there's an accent involved.

Bill Pullman

I feel like I'm kind of faking something if I'm talking as myself and putting on an accent.

Melanie Lynskey

A certain kind of shittiness, a certain kind of stagnation, a certain kind of darkness, goes on propagating itself by its own power in its own self-contained cycle. And once it passes a certain point, no one can stop it-even if the person himself wants to stop it.

Haruki Murakami

So much of great American drama has been about a certain kind of dysfunctional family, and maybe my interests are in the kind of strange dysfunction that exists even among deeply functional families.

Stephen Karam

I'm aware now over the last 5 or 10 years that when you do an accent, you really have to kind of get down to the nitty gritty and go into the phonetics of it, if necessary. Find out not just the sounds but the rhythms and the music - or lack thereof - in a particular accent.

Brendan Gleeson
