Zellweger: Too curt for Britain

London, Oct. 5 (AP): Bridget Jones star Renee Zellweger says that being around British people makes her feel ?curt and clumsy.?

In an interview with London?s Time Out magazine, the Oscar-winning actor who lived in the city while filming the hit 2001 comedy Bridget Jones? Diary and its sequel, The Edge of Reason, also revealed that she plans to take a year out to spend time with friends.

?What did become apparent to me when I was living in England were my Americanisms. I felt that so strongly. I felt loud and inappropriately direct. I felt curt and clumsy and I felt obnoxious in my straightforward way of communicating.?
