My problem with being an actor was that I was far too shy to actually do it.

I've never been interested in being famous. I enjoy acting. That's what's important to me.

I continue to be very shy. I think a lot of actors and performers are really weird, shy people working it out onstage. I don't know why that is.

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

I think most actors are shy. I really do. The greatest actors can disappear. I had friends call me the Blend-In Man.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.

I've been able to perform in front of thousands of people on stage in a character that's nothing like me. I'm very shy.

When you work with actors, what you're hoping to absorb is good ways to be an actor as opposed to how to handle being famous.

What's awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That's scary, and they just seem to think it's okay to do it, like you're public property.
