The fact of the matter is that most actors are shy people.

I'm quite shy. Television presents an amplified version of yourself. When I'm on camera I'm pumping more adrenaline, I'm being a bit more engaging than I am in everyday conversation, but that's normal, isn't it? Otherwise nobody would want to watch.

People tend to think they know you when you come into their televisions every week. They think you are different than who you are. Don't believe everything you hear.

Television forces people to be larger than life. I would be too shy.

I think some people think that being on television makes you a sitting duck, but you have the right to remain private.

I am shyer than most people think.

People who don't know that I do comedy think I'm shy, kind of a dud, and I don't have the wherewithal to prove them wrong. It takes me a long time to get to know people.

Just because you are on TV, it doesn't mean you're not going to make mistakes.

I am just convinced that people want to see people on TV who are more like themselves.

Being on TV brings a sort of attention in high school that can be negative sometimes. People, immediately they're going to have that in their back pocket. If they don't like you, they're going to be able to pull that out and throw it in your face.
