A lot of people here some South in your mouth, and they automatically think you're dumb. They think if you talk funny, you are funny. — Lloyd Hand

About This Quote

Being born in America is like having a mouth full of South in the mouth. It's best to brush it off and not let it bother you because people will say whatever they want. The world doesn't believe in your intelligence because you speak differently and people automatically think you're dumb. But, who cares what they think? You can't change what they think, but you can change how you feel about yourself.
