Just A Minute

No, no, no, don't let the press distort his words any more than what

All he says is, "Americans think British accents are amazing whether
the performance is good or bad (even though it usually is good).
Americans are rather more relaxed in their acting, because it works

Instead, all newspapers on the face of this earth are reporting, "Fry
says: British actors can't act; Americans can't judge!" CRIMONY.
