"The memorized portion that I want you to remember… is the outline and the stories within that." – Philip
"If you have a speech completely memorized, now you're stuck doing that exact speech… and therefore you're not able to connect with the audience." – Philip
"When [your speech] is rigid or regimented so much…, there's not the emotion there." – Philip
"Things happen on stage. You can't control everything, but what you can control is having your speech set up in a way that if there's a hiccup…, you can get back on because you have a general outline rather than a very regimented, memorized speech." – Philip
