Quote

I have lived most of my life in small towns, and I'm in the habit of knowing and talking to everyone.

I spoke to a million in one service, in Korea, in Seoul. And that was the largest audience I ever have had.

Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.

I moved to a city and joined a sort of fast crowd. A lot of people who grew up in the city sort of aren't aware of manners and other ways of life and 'common decency.'

Public speaking? I speak to myself on the street!

I'm not good at meeting people, and I'm not good at small talk.

I'm not very good in crowds, so I usually try to become as small as possible.

In talking to you I feel very much more at ease than my colleagues who gave the speeches during the banquet.

I'm not a good small talker. I'm not into small talk, frankly.
