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

People think stars never have any problems or cares. That's bull. Why would we show any more than one mask to the public. There's a whole lotta things I've done that I don't want to think about. But I bring it all right out when I need it for a role.

People become actors because they want to hide, and it's not easy to talk about myself. I accept that a certain responsibility goes with being an actor in the public eye, but I haven't found a comfortable way to deal with it.

There's an inordinate amount of attention put on actors. Some people want to make their lives public, but that doesn't mean everybody does.

As actors, we get to hide. You can change your hair and your accent, and it's not you. You have tricks, these masks.

Public speaking is scary, I think. I've gotten way better at it. If I have to do a speech and be like, 'I'm a YouTuber,' then that's easy, but if I have to get up there and pretend I know something in front of adults, it's never fine. In front of adults, it's like, 'Ahhhh they're going to judge me.'

As an actor, there are so many different people to hide behind.

Very often there's this misapprehension about actors being people that need to display themselves, to reveal themselves in public.

My biggest problem in my life is I'm cheap and I didn't hire a publicist. In every awkward interview, normally actors get these things scripted.
