I talk about the fact that I struggled to read a speech on a page. That's why you don't see me do this. I could do it on a teleprompter, but spatially, I can't. It's not my skill set, but I make up for it in a lot of different ways. What hurts me about that is how many kids and families were hurt by a statement. (09:29–09:33)
