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'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.
I took no pride in my solitude; but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
Introverts prefer to work independently, and solitude can be a catalyst to innovation.
But I'm more of a recluse when it comes down to being a writer and being a creative person rather than being a celebrity.
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.
I had a lot of alone time with no brothers or sisters running around, or anything. I would just sit and imagine things, all the time.
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.
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.
I'm actually pretty reserved.
I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person.
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.
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 was so shy when I was younger. When I first went to Liverpool I didn't say a word for a year.
I live by myself, which I love. In this industry, you're so often surrounded by people and busy and talking to people. It's kind of lovely when you get home to just chill out.
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'm quiet, so people might think I'm a mute.
But generally speaking, I tend to be quiet and introspective.
I tend to be a little bit more quiet and just to myself. I'm a little bit more introverted than extroverted.
Do you hate people? I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.
When I'm at home in Virginia, I become more hermit-like. I like my own home.
