If I have to speak in public, I am terrified.

My greatest fear is speaking in public.

Public speaking, for me, or speaking even in front of a handful of people is my greatest fear.

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.

I've never given a speech without being terrified first.

It's frightening to be facing an audience. There is always the fear of what they think of you, what they are saying about you.

I get terrified the first day I'm on a film set. I get nervous walking down a red carpet. I find making speeches the most terrifying thing in the world.

Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes.

There are still times when I am walking up, and I look at the Capitol, and I think, 'Oh my goodness.' Right now, I am kind of scared to go onto the floor and speak. Once I get used to it, though, they probably won't be able to keep me off there.
