About Quote by Tom Hooper
“What I learned about stammering was that, when as a young child you lose the confidence of anyone who wants to listen to you, you lose confidence in your voice and the right to speech. And a lot of the therapy was saying, 'You have a right to be heard.'”

![“There's probably a certain confidence in your voice, or something, that is validated. You know what I mean? I'm just imagining if people didn't already say that you were cool, that you'd [have] more doubt in what you're doing. That's not so conscious, but that's part of my cosmology now.” quote by Stephen Malkmus](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3de/stephen-malkmus-2984_certain_there-s-probably-a-certain-confidence-in_1712434.jpg)
