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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always try to think before I talk.
When I give a lot of speeches, they're always on the fly. I mean, I know what I'm going to say roughly, but I do not - will not read.
As someone who gets nervous in silences, I spill words rather than really think.
I realised quite early that by the time I articulate my thoughts into words, I'm on to another thought. And what comes out wasn't what I thought of exactly. So not talking was a better option.
Sometimes people mistake the way I talk for what I am thinking.
I do not speak the minds of others except to speak my own mind better.
For years, I've been interviewed, and they write what they thought I thought or what they thought I said. Sometimes it's accurate, and often it isn't.
I'm used to being told what to say, but not what to think... that's usually left up to me.
I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards.
I have trouble voicing my thoughts... I can't communicate very well that way.
