I've had to work on being a slow talker.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did a lot of fast talking as a youth; I was pretty good at it. I was never talked into it - I was always the one doing the talking.
I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.
The thing is: I was quite slow when I was younger. I might have been smart - I don't know - but I was slow talking to people. And as you can see, I don't talk very loud.
The trouble with talking too fast is you may say something you haven't thought of yet.
Most people can't talk as fast as I do. I'm not proud of that. That's God-given.
There is one way to have a short but exciting conversation with me, and that is to move too slow.
I'm not a good small talker. I'm not into small talk, frankly.
What can I say? I'm a talker.
I'm kind of a chatterbox and I talk really fast.
I do the same gig. I might change it a little; I might slow it down if I'm in the South. I talk fast, and they're not used to people talking that fast.
