1 " Believe in yourself. Do NOT listen to the haters or to those who said " it can't be done" . I had people who laughed at my dreams, who laughed at my accent or at the fact that I did not come from a wealthy family or a prestigious school; people who told me I would never succeed at anything. I have managed to prove those people wrong again and again. Believe in yourself and follow your heart, the rest will come into place in time. "
2 " My voice falls into Southern drawl when I am tired, drunk, or in trouble. Too often, my accent is attacked by all three of these realities. "
― Jennifer Harrison , Write like no one is reading
3 " If my accent betrayed my foreign birth, it also stamped me as an enemy, in the imagination of the producers. "
