When you're standing in front of an audience like this that is so enthusiastic and so much behind you, it is very hard to give a bad speech. Even a bad speech sounds good in a convention hall like this.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Convention speeches are powerful tools to bend the curve of public opinion. George H. W. Bush's 1988 convention speech is a great example. His son's speech was also quite powerful.
Speeches are not magic and there is no great speech without great policy.
I do find my speech difficult at times, but it's getting so much better as my confidence grows and that's thanks to the position I'm now in, which is totally due to my fans.
I always feel kind of absurd and presumptuous presenting a speech.
As I've been acting since I was young it's taught me to give a good speech, and, though I say so myself, I did it pretty well.
Every couple of seconds out here they're honoring somebody. You've got to get dressed, go in and sit down. Invariably somebody makes a speech.
Speeches are much easier if you read them. I just find when I do that, it's harder to fire up the crowd.
You can't just give a speech and expect people to fall down and agree with you.
I don't like giving speeches. It makes me nervous.
One of the areas I have a little less confidence in is giving any kind of a speech.
