For those of us who aren't great with people, we figure that silence is always the safest bet. If you're an introvert, you spend so much of your time wishing that other people would just shut the hell up that you figure you're doing everyone a favor.

I don't necessarily want to know what people are saying when I'm not around, especially if it's about me. I just don't need to hear extra garbage.

People are dying to tell you their secrets; it's just a matter of getting the conversation going in the right direction. If you just let people fill the silence, they will let you the most extraordinary things. I sometimes wonder if afterward they remember what they've said.

I guess because of my act, people think that I say things they want to say, and that they can just come up and say anything to me.

I just don't like people coming up to me and saying something. It immediately makes you become insincere. There is no way you can react to it sincerely.

'Talk to me,' it's what you say to someone to let them know you're there. Just three simple words. But saying them out loud could help save a life.

I give people a space to simply sit in silence and communicate with me deeply but non-verbally.

It's very important in life to know when to shut up. You should not be afraid of silence.

You're in the public eye and you just hope that people don't come up and interrupt you while your in the middle of a meal or a conversation or something like that.

I feel that if a person has problems communicating the very least he can do is to shut up.
