>The one thing I refuse to identify myself as is someone who stutters. Not because stuttering is bad, but because it’s just a character trait, much like a big nose or my basketball-sized noggin. I really like this. Im not a stutterer. Im just another bloke out there like everyone else and stuttering is just something I do sometimes. Nothing kills a stutter faster than dis-identifying with it.
