"I consider social skills a bit like learning a language. I've been practising it for so long over so many years I've almost lost my accent."

I lived in America for a long time before I started working as an actor. Some actors show up on set and have never done an American accent before, so they rely on a slew of technical mechanisms. Part of what makes an accent is understanding why people speak that way - you have to understand the culture.
