Paul Kaye Quotes

Not everybody's confident their whole life.

You get tangled up in your own ego of how you're perceived. You can lose your way.

A lot of people think I'm naturally confident. I am not naturally confident!

I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?

I guess I could say I'm an actor, which I am, but that sounds like I'm putting down being a movie star, which, let's face it, is what I've become to many people. For myself, I'm a guy who was very insecure from about age 14 until the day I hit my 30th birthday.

I feel uncomfortable because I'm insecure about who I am.

I thought it was something peculiar to me. I thought I was abnormal.

I've seen pictures of me, and I look mean and arrogant. That's how I felt on the inside. I think now, 'Is that really me?'

I don't know if I'm 'normal.'

I always felt like a fraud.

People see me as something I'm not.

Despite my career, so much of my life has been dictated by what I'm afraid of: fear that I am not talented. Fear that people will finally realize that I am a boring individual who doesn't have many ambitions beyond starting a family 'at a good time' in life.

I am surprised at the way people seem to perceive me, and sometimes I read stories and hear things about me and I go "ugh." I wouldn't like her either. It's so unlike what I think I am or what my friends think I am.

I had such a reputation, and it was sad because I felt like it so didn't represent who I really was.

I hate how I don't feel real enough unless people are watching.

Fearfulness, contrary to all other vices, maketh a man think the better of another, the worse of himself.

It's really hard to see yourself and to recognize that you are a human being like everybody else. You just think everybody's judging you.

It's very difficult when there are pictures taken on the red carpet. I find those things so terrifying that another persona just kicks in. I don't recognise myself.

If I saw my 15-year-old self now, I'd think I wasn't that bad, but back then I perceived myself as awful.

I'm worried about looking like a bad person when, in fact, I try to be a good person. I don't like the public image that I've been dressed with and it worries me.

Many people would be surprised that, in fact, I'm quite shy.

I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be.

I know a lot of people think, 'She's so glamorous.' But that's really not me at all.

The thing is that I never felt beautiful. I really never did. I think I can change my looks and be different things, but I've never thought of myself as this face.

I was never my favourite subject.
