I don't like giving speeches. It makes me nervous.

I don't want to spend the rest of my life giving speeches.

I find doing speeches nerve wrecking.

I've spent too much time giving speeches, traveling the world.

I happen to have given lots of free speeches.

One of the areas I have a little less confidence in is giving any kind of a speech.

When I give talks like the one I'm going to give at the Changing Advertising Summit, one of the points I often make to the audience is that I'm not one of those speakers who stands in front of the audience and pontificates - everything I talk about I'm actually doing myself. I'm living it.

In talking to you I feel very much more at ease than my colleagues who gave the speeches during the banquet.

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