I've had to work on being a slow talker.

Most people can't talk as fast as I do. I'm not proud of that. That's God-given.

The trouble with talking too fast is you may say something you haven't thought of yet.

I'm a New Yorker, so I speak really fast, naturally.

I did a lot of fast talking as a youth; I was pretty good at it. I was never talked into it - I was always the one doing the talking.

I do the same gig. I might change it a little; I might slow it down if I'm in the South. I talk fast, and they're not used to people talking that fast.

I type even faster than I talk. I'm very proud of that. I type so fast. And I have to because the characters are living in real time and I've got to keep up with them. It's a miracle they even give me a royalty.

There is one way to have a short but exciting conversation with me, and that is to move too slow.

I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.

When I have people around, I'm a chatterbox. But when I'm alone, I never speak. I don't talk to myself; it's just not my schtick.
