My voice, I have to say, is kind of miraculous because I was born with a cleft palate.
I'm a lifelong stutterer.
From my earliest days I have enjoyed an attractive impediment in my speech. I have never permitted the use of the word stammer. I can't say it myself.
When I'm nervous, I stutter, and I had to keep stopping and starting.
I had curly hair, braces, pimples - you talk about going through puberty and the worst things that go with it, I had it, for sure. And then I had a bottom retainer, so my lisp was really bad. I still have a minor one when I get really excited.
I've got a speech impediment.
There's nothing wrong with a lisp.
I had a stutter when I was a young. I went to speech therapy.
I had a terrible stammering problem when I was young, and as a result I spent a lot of time alone.
Free speech is not a bogus issue. It is an issue.
I didn't stutter when I was reading lines in a script. When I got away from myself, I didn't have that problem.
I had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.
It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.
I will always have a stutter.
