“Everyone told me: ‘He was drunk, he was something. His speech made no sense. So, absolutely not! Well, I wasn’t drunk. But other than that, my speech was written. This is what can seem absolutely crazy. I wrote that speech. Afterwards, I was a little overwhelmed by emotions. Anyway, I didn’t write the whole speech, I wrote everyone I thank. Casually, deep down I’m still quite a shy person, even if I fight it, and my job has forced me to grow into it. I don’t really like public speaking in front of a lot of people. That’s something that actually worries me.“, he added.
