Always write as if you are talking to someone. It works. Don’t put on any fancy phrases or accents or things you wouldn’t say in real life. Say someone cried - don’t say: ‘tears coursed down her face’. Take it nice and easy, don’t try to impress Picture Quote #1

As I lived on in America, I got to truly know the people of this country - so many kind and wonderful people, people of so many races - who helped me in so many ways. Who became my friends.

My dad had such a cool job. When you’re a voiceover actor, it’s a whole different skill - you’re bringing these huge, larger-than-life monsters and characters to life. And, also, you have to learn accents Picture Quote #1

When you’re traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually.

I like to tell stories loosely based on real-life events Picture Quote #1

I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I’m a complete fruit loop Picture Quote #1

It’s actually reassuring to see people struggling to do our accent instead of us constantly trying to emulate British or American accents, which we are always asked to do Picture Quote #1

Much of my playing is rhythmic and choppy; I use a lot of double stops. The wah just accents all those stops and chops and brings out the rhythmic aspect that much more Picture Quote #1

The trombone is the true head of the family of wind instruments... it has all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious, calm and imposing accents to savage, orgiastic outburst Picture Quote #1

I did a lot of acting, funnily enough, unprofessionally, as a kid. From when I was 10 years old until I was about 19, I was always doing little sketches with my friends, and doing different accents and voices Picture Quote #1

The artist does not draw what he sees, but what he must make others see. Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things. A picture is first of all a product of the imagination of the artist; it must never be a copy. If then two or three natural accents can be added, obviously no harm is done. The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I’d rather hide behind accents and funny walks Picture Quote #1

I’m in four different films this year, and I have four different accents. I sound different in every film. You have to love a character to play it well, and change in my work is what I want Picture Quote #1

So shaken as we are, so wan with care, find we a time for frighted peace to pant and breathe short winded accents of new broils to be commenced in stronds afar remote Picture Quote #1
