I've never once corrected someone who got my name wrong.

I use a pseudonym, because my real name is very difficult to pronounce, to remember, and to spell. And many people who have been talking about me on television have yet to pronounce it correctly.

I am terrible with people's names.

I never wanted to give up my given name. I'm proud of it, but the only problem was that no one remembered it. It was just a little too awkward, and they mispronounced it so frequently.

I love mispronunciations. I love when people mispronounce things.

If you can't pronounce a word correctly, just don't use it.

I can't believe that people actually know my first and last name. I think it's really, really, gosh-darn neat.

When you have a different name, people just kind of take the liberty to spell it how they want.

In hotels, every time I make a reservation and they never find my name, they never can pronounce it; it's so long, and sometimes they confuse.
