Susan Cain Quotes

I'm a private person in many ways.

I know I'm an oddball given that today 90 per cent of all human beings are extremely social, and I, for one, am a part of a profession which is not perceived to be for introverts, but I enjoy my personal space.

My mind is not suited to go much into company.

I loved being in my own head so much, it was getting harder and harder being with other people.

I'm extremely introverted. I used to think it was shyness, but I got over that, so it must be door No. 2. It's still hard for me to be away from home much, and I have to make sure I get lots of time alone in my room when I'm touring.

I'm the most private person.

I'm calculating, self-sufficient, reserved, and I enjoy being alone.

I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person.

I've always kind of lived in my own world.

I'm quite a loner. I realized that I'm very introverted, and I get energy by being alone instead of being with other people.

I would never call myself mysterious. The word I use is 'private.'

I'm a private person. I am quiet.

Off screen, I am a very shy person, and I want to keep my personal life completely personal.

I'm not a very public person.

I'm very to myself.

The last introvert in a world of extroverts. Silence: my response to both emptiness and saturation. But silence frightens people. I had to learn how to talk. Out of politeness.

I'm not reclusive at all. Just private.
