I always mean what I say, but I don't always say what I'm thinking.

A lot of broadcasting, I think, is doing a tremendous amount of preparation and trying to act like, 'Oh, this thought is just occurring to me right now' - and speaking sincerely.

I love the challenge of having an audience know what you're thinking without having to tell the audience what you're thinking.

I'm a very good thinker, but I sometimes grab the wrong word. I say something I didn't think through adequately. I mean, I don't type my speeches, then sit up there and read them off the teleprompter, you know. I wing it.

I say things as if they've already happened, so as I'm getting ready I can think about it and feel it, how it's going to feel to win, and I see myself getting on the podium.

One of the things that writing and speech can do is express what we're thinking one thought at a time.

It's one thing to plan and imagine what you want on a film, but when you actually arrive and survey the scene, there's a moment of, 'Oh my God, what was I thinking?'

Something is wrong with America. I wonder sometimes what people are thinking about or if they're thinking at all.

I'm used to being told what to say, but not what to think... that's usually left up to me.
