Anyone who knows me knows that I have never been shy about how important Ferran Adria has been in my life; he is a friend, a mentor, an inspiration.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I had a shyness about me, I think I discovered acting as a way to break out of that and as a way of belonging, a sense of being special.
Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that how we look, how we perform, is truly important to other people.
I'm shy, but not on a one-to-one basis. Over the years, I have become acclimatised to a bit of publicity.
Working with Adrien Brody was like going to Julliard, but instead of four years, I went for four weeks. He was like the Albert Einstein of professors, it was just the best experience of my life. Adrien was the most influential mentor in my acting career thus far, and even after the movie he continues to mentor me.
I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.
The level of shyness has gone up dramatically in the last decade. I think shyness is an index of social pathology rather than a pathology of the individual.
I was just so blatantly shy throughout my life.
I've been shy twice. Once when I saw Matthew Bomer and once when I saw Adam Levine. I couldn't say anything, literally.
I've never had a desire to be famous. Lots of actors are actually extremely shy. I have shy areas.
I've always been a shy person.
