And so I thought to myself,

So, thinks I to myself

And I said to myself

So I said to myself

And I say to myself...

I said to myself, this is it.

And all of a sudden I thought, Well, wait a minute.

I said to myself, and my wife said to me,

Step two was the moment I said,

I said to myself He didn't go.

Climbing the stairs I told myself,

That was why when you walked in last night, I said to myself

At the time, I thought to myself

I thought to myself, What now? Where do I turn?

Why not? Why, I said to myself, not?

I thought, my career's over.

Step one was the moment I said,

I'm saying, I got to clear out of here!

I said to myself, I won't.

I said to myself, tomorrow she'll forget all this.

Alan, I have told people you love me, and I have told myself you love me.

I said to myself, there must be a better way.

I told myself, This is going to be something that I have to talk about.

Why, when he comes crawling into the fort half dead, I says to myself,

Al lora mi son detto Che peccato, perché non convertirla In un albergo?

Step two was the moment I said, I will. I will continue.

At least she's looking at a man.

I said to myself, I m going to have to go about things in a more democratic way.

And I remember being 8 years old and looking out there and thinking to myself,

I figured I could take anything for a few weeks because I loved him.

And so I thought to myself, Well, these are the guys who I want to talk to.

And I said to myself, I am going to copy these arguments for my TED talk.

And I said to myself, Lewis, don't look left, don't look right.

That was one of those turning points where I said, wow what am I doing here?

I've got to do one about Steve Jobs.

I said to myself I've seen part of Burton's show. It's very good.

One represented truth and the other a mistake, or so I told myself at the time.

So I said to myself, with all these hundred other boys, this is where I belong.

Step one was the moment I said, I can. I can do this.

I was totally nervous about doing this talk today, but then I said to myself, So what?

So I had this ad made up all on my own... because I thought, well, what's the harm in trying?

I've already told myself that, but I haven't been able to convince myself.

And I thought to myself, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the Atlantic, what in the world could be wrong in Washington?

Thinks I to myself I never set eyes on an uglier, sourer faced young 'un.

But then I was like, that's more bad than writing is good, and so that wouldn't work.
