I make it a rule always to believe compliments implicitly for five minutes, and to simmer gently for twenty more.
I do find my speech difficult at times, but it's getting so much better as my confidence grows and that's thanks to the position I'm now in, which is totally due to my fans.
You have to allow a certain amount of time in which you are doing nothing in order to have things occur to you, to let your mind think.
