true humility is when you can surprise yourself more than others; the rest is either shyness or good marketing
At my very core, I'm pretty shy. I just happen to have a weird job.
I'm self-loathing, introverted, and neurotic.
From the time I was a little kid, I was always shy. Performing was when I was outgoing. So I guess I am a loner. I get claustrophobia if a lot of people are around.
I drink to make other people interesting.
Back in 1993, I was studying in Delhi, and I had a girlfriend. I had never touched a girl before that in my entire life. One day, I decided to go out with her to a garden. We were sitting beside each other, and I just glanced around to see if anyone was looking at us, and I put my hand over hers. I thought love started in this way.
I'm an introvert, but I disguise my introversion by being an extrovert. If I don't have to be around people, I'm not. If I'm around people, I'm gonna do my thing. But I'm not really with the fake kickin' it - everything's organic, everything's natural.
If I am with one person, I am very talkative, and personable. I will talk your ear off, but if there is another person interjected, I get so awkward. I am like the awkward one in those situations, but I feel like a lot of creative people are.
There was the usual dreaminess, I suppose. Also a shyness that caused me - and others - to notice that I could express myself better by writing than by speaking. This is typical of many writers, I think. What is a drawback in childhood is an asset to a literary life. Not being fluent on one’s feet sends one to the page and a habit is born.
I am not a people person. It's not that I am shy, but I am more comfortable in an atmosphere of one-on-one. I hate crowds and parties.
Michael (Jackson) was so shy, he'd sit down and sing behind the couch with his back to me while I sat with my hands over my eyes-and the lights off.
As a young person, and I know it's hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn't do normally if I was just by myself.
When I met Christophe Waltz, I was so shy! I was like, 'Oh, hi! Um, I'm Stephanie!' He's one of my favorite actors.
I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.
It's no secret I'm a shy person.
I'm one of those people who would be OK with fading back into the background a little bit.
I don't crave applause. I'm not one of those guys who comes alive on stage. I'm much more alive at home, I think.
I became a teen idol. At the time, it embarrassed me.
When I was a kid, I had a couple of really good friends, like some really good best friends, but I was really shy other than that.
I was so shy when I was younger. When I first went to Liverpool I didn't say a word for a year.
I'm quiet, so people might think I'm a mute.
I tend to be a little bit more quiet and just to myself. I'm a little bit more introverted than extroverted.
She blushed and so did he. She greeted him in a faltering voice, and he spoke to her without knowing what he was saying.
I don't have many friends; I'm very much a loner. As a child I was very isolated, and I've never been really close to anyone.
Believe it or not, I'm actually quite a private person.
