"I don't do church talk well. By that I mean, sometimes when you interview people in authority, they sound like stained glass windows. I come from a very simple background, a family of steelworkers. So, you learn to develop this ability to just say what you mean and not have any talking in circles or say a lot of words and not say anything. And this way there can be no ambiguity when I speak."
