I will always have a stutter.

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

I'm a lifelong stutterer.

But if you put a script up in front of me to read, or a cue card, I couldn't do it without stuttering.

Somebody told me I should put a pebble in my mouth to cure my stuttering. Well, I tried it, and during a scene I swallowed the pebble. That was the end of that.

I try to prepare for everything beyond the extent of preparation.

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

When it comes to performance, I don't like to prepare at all if I don't have to.

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

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.
