"You know what, I think the producers, Aaron, Gretchen, Akiva, and Alex, you know, they gave us freedom into how we presented our characters. Because we worked on that. And as you can see, Captain Philippa Georgiou comes from that part of the world, so it would make sense that she still retains it. Even though you might study for years in the Academy, your roots will always be your roots and it will reflect, whether it's in your little mannerisms or in your accent. You know how it is. That's what we are. And so they never turned around and say, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You have to speak more this or more that." So they were very liberal. I didn't intentionally use a very Chinese or Japanese or very, very Asian accent. But sort of across the board, you know this person comes from this part of the world."
