Lake Bell Quotations

I'm not a big fan of the ocean because I'm scared of what lies beneath,

I'm not a fan of science fiction, personally,

When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.

I had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.

I'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .

I feel very lucky that when I'm burnt out of acting I take to the pen and I write something I want to direct.

I vowed to never use my American accent, and I didn't. Even going to get the paper in the morning to buying milk down at the shop, getting a cab, wherever.

You can't live in a dialect without tremendous work. Like any muscle, accents and voices and languages are all formed out of the muscles that we have in our mouths and faces and tongues.

Something that has always attracted me to even taking on the occupation of actor is the idea that I could be lucky enough to portray different characterizations from different places in the world, whether it's speaking another language or taking on a dialect and building a history from where they were born. I was very attracted to that concept, in becoming an actor.

It's priceless what you learn when you actually do. The best education is effectively to be functioning in the occupation that you want to take on.
