A great quote from Rosario Ferre in Steven Kellman's The Translingual Imagination:
"English makes me slow down. I have to think over what I'm going to say twice, maybe three times--which is often healthy because I can't put my foot, or rather my pen, in my mouth so easily. I can't be trigger-happy in English because words take too much effort."
I don't even have a trigger here. Darn it!
