Quote

I don't want to spend the rest of my life giving speeches.

I do have to travel a lot for speaking engagements.

I find doing speeches nerve wrecking.

I happen to have given lots of free speeches.

Making clever speeches takes a lot of work and a lot of time.

When you make as many speeches and you talk as much as I do and you get away from the text, it's always a possibility to get a few words tangled here and there.

I don't like giving speeches. It makes me nervous.

I write incredibly slowly. And, on top of that, I spent my entire youth and twenties working like a dog, so one of the things that happened when I finished 'Drown' was that I got busy living. I'd never travelled, I'd never seen anything. So I did as much travelling as my job teaching would allow.

I've been traveling around the world forever.

When I give speeches at college, I don't tell stories, I talk about what it is to live your dreams and take the path less traveled.
