I'm shy at public speaking, which is tough.

I couldn't speak well. I went to speech therapy for 10 years. And I was sort of frustrated in that sense.

I do find my speech difficult at times, but it's getting so much better as my confidence grows and that's thanks to the position I'm now in, which is totally due to my fans.

Speaking is what most people work on. They forget the thinking and the breathing and instead try to occupy space with sound.

I never found it frustrating not speaking.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

Speeches are much easier if you read them. I just find when I do that, it's harder to fire up the crowd.

I have a fear of public speaking. It's very hard work. Words are not my skill, and because they're not my skill, I have to work doubly hard.

Any voice where you've got to scream over a battle or whatever, that's always difficult. It's harder than it seems.

The hardest times for me were not when people challenged what I said, but when I felt my voice was not heard.
