I think it was George Bernard Shaw who said that the British and the Americans are two people separated by a common language. (Alesi Jean)
The British have slang words, as we do, but it was fun. (Alesi Jean)
I had a quick ear and could pick up languages. (Alesi Jean)
“Well, English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English; I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent. Obviously there are more specific ones that get a little bit tricky. Same with American stuff. But because in Australia we're so inundated with American culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in Australia can do an American accent. It's just second nature.” (Alesi Jean)
“Even though we all speak English here in America, you all speak a very different language. So it's really enjoyable for me to work at home. It's more cathartic, I suppose. To work in America or other places is more about curiosity, because I'm dealing with cultures and sensibilities that I don't really know.” (Alesi Jean)
“After Zorro, people spoke Spanish to me for ages. I'm Welsh but that movie instantly gave me a new ethnicity.” (Alesi Jean)
There was no language barrier when it came to kids, and when it came to play. (Alesi Jean)
It's really difficult for me. Language, I am sorry that I haven't. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me. (Alesi Jean)
“The whole thing was chaotic. Everyone spoke a different language. I knew a little French, so that's how I conversed with Leone.” (Alesi Jean)
“French is the language that turns dirt into romance.” (Alesi Jean)
Go learn the language. Go take some acting lessons. Start from zero like everybody else. (Alesi Jean)
“They ended up wanting someone with an authentic British accent, and I didn't have enough time to prepare and go in an audition and act like I could pull it off because I was training for dance.” (Alesi Jean)
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. (Alesi Jean)
Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands and goes to work. (Alesi Jean)
I'm really fascinated and you know I've been wondering about that usage of language, various breathing techniques and why in these practices language is being used in another way. (Alesi Jean)
I don't want boys to use bad language. (Alesi Jean)
Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers. (Alesi Jean)
I am determined to give the Yiddish language a fighting chance to survive. (Alesi Jean)
I think one of the best words in the English language is compassion. I think it holds everything. It holds love, it holds care... and if everybody just did something. We all make a difference. (Alesi Jean)
I unfortunately don't speak French, but my wife is now fluent in English, which really reflects rather badly on me. (Alesi Jean)
To cultivate an English accent is already a departure away from what you are. (Alesi Jean)
