until Portia told me. - Yeah.

- Because you always have American accents in everything.

In "Bridesmaids"-- I never would have thought that.

- Yes. Yeah, I know.

I'm actually more comfortable, really,

working with an American accent, at this point, you know?

To help--to get into the character?

So on "Neighbors," when they wanted me

to be Australian, I was like, "Really?

"Really? Do we have to?

My secret's out," you know? - Yeah.

And then you were American in that as well.

- Yeah--ooh, no, no. I was Australian.

- Were you really? - Yes, yeah, they made--yeah.

'Cause they do a lot of improv on those films, so--

- That was a hilarious movie, also.

- Oh, thank you. - Really, really fun.

So, do you just sometimes-- is it that easy for you?

Like, if you were to walk around during the day,

and have an American accent?

- Yep. - You--really?

It's just that easy? - I could read something out.

- Like, just--just, right now-- - Yeah.

- You can just speak with an American accent.

- [American accent] What would you like me to say?

- Well, you just did, like-- - [laughs]

- Like, is there an accent--

Can you a lot of different accents?

Are you good-- - I'm not bad.

I'm--New Zealand is tough.

[New Zealand accent] New Zealanders talk like this?

- Uh huh. - It's very hard.

- [through clenched teeth] They don't open their mouth?

- No, no, they say-- [laughter]

- "Fish and chips." - No?

But isn't it--it all goes up at the end of the--Australian?

- Australians go like,

"I'm gonna go get a glass of water?"

- "Water? Would you like some water?"

That's my Australian, yeah.

[laughter]

Can you do, like, a Southern accent?

Are you good at-- - I love Southern accents.

That's actually a fantasy of mine, is to do--

I would love to do a character, you know, like a great--

you know, a great South-- I think they're so beautiful.

I don't know if there's anyone from the South here, but--

[audience cheers] Yeah?

They're gorgeous. They're beautiful.

[audience laughter] [mouths words]

[laughter]

- You're lying. - I'm from New Orleans.

- Are you? - Yes, I am.

[laughter]

Yes. - Really?

- Yes, I am.

- Well, you don't sound like it.

- [slight accent] But I do.

[audience laughter] - Oh, there it--[laughs]

- But I do. I say "y'all" all the time.

People still make fun of me for that, but I just think

"y'all" is easier to say than "you guys" or "you all."

I mean, it's-- - Oh, wow.

- It's saving everyone time.

[laughter]

- Wow, gosh--and so you've pretty much lost your--

- Well, I lived in Texas for a short time,

so when I was in Texas, they made fun

of my New Orleans accent,

then I moved back to New Orleans from Texas

and they made fun of my Texan accent,

and then I was like, "Okay, forget all y'all,"

'cause-- [laughter]

"I'm just gonna move to California,

and forget about all of it."
