People think actresses find public speaking easy, and it's not easy at all; we're used to hiding behind masks.

When speaking, be clear, be brief and be memorable.

If there's anything a public servant hates to do it's something for the public.

The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones. Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue. [Ecclesiasticus 28:17 --18].

The public is a ferocious beast: one must either chain it up or flee from it.

The effect of power and publicity on all men is the aggravation of self, a sort of tumor that ends by killing the victim's sympathies.
