Quote

Stuttering is painful. In Sunday school, I'd try to read my lessons, and the children behind me were falling on the floor with laughter.

I used to not stutter any. Oh, I did when I was a kid, I stuttered, I had a bad stutter until I was probably between the second and third grade and a guy got rid of it for me.

I have been a lifelong stutterer, and when I was young, I experienced some very difficult times.

I will always have a stutter.

I have struggled all my life with my stuttering. Not to mention all my other speech impediments. I think I have every language disorder known to speech pathologists.

The happiest stutterers, I learned, are those who are willing to stutter in front of others.

If you're a kid, it's all you think about if you stutter. Kids can be so mean. My grades suffered. Class participation weighs heavy in grading, and I wouldn't open my mouth to read or talk in front of anyone.

I didn't stutter when I was reading lines in a script. When I got away from myself, I didn't have that problem.

I had a bad stutter when I was really young. I couldn't get a sentence out. Like, 'D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-ad.' And that turned into a mumble.

I used to stutter really badly. Everybody thinks it's funny. And it's not funny. It's not.
