It's a problem sometimes when you speak to journalists. They quote you, and then they read what they wrote, and then they even explain it. It's dangerous.

There are very many people who read simply to prevent themselves from thinking.

Some people say that you should read people who think completely differently from you so that everything you read and everything that they say is a challenge to you but there's something to be said for reading people where you think, 'Yes, that's how I would have said it if I could have found the words for it'.

Don't you hear people saying things you can't believe they're saying?

To be able to make statements, you need to be confident about what you think. You need to have a sense of right and wrong.

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.

It's no use of talking unless people understand what you say.

When somebody says that all statements are false, the obvious problem is that as an assertion it's self-defeating.

People will read into what you say no matter what, so it doesn't matter to me.
