For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

It was hard for me to find my voice because I was, for so long, absorbed in my own world.

I cannot count the times I've been defeated, humiliated, or physically injured immediately after saying the words, 'Hey, how hard can it be?' But that never seems to stop me from saying them again.

Speaking is physically difficult for me.

I think it was a good challenge for me to get my reactions across without being able to speak.

Apart from a period of crisis during my adolescence, when my voice was changing and I could not tame it - it was like a kicking foal that does not listen to reason - I have always been told I have a pleasant and recognizable voice.

Any voice where you've got to scream over a battle or whatever, that's always difficult. It's harder than it seems.

I couldn't speak well. I went to speech therapy for 10 years. And I was sort of frustrated in that sense.

I made lots of talks and challenged lots of people.
